If you want an easy way to access some hidden folders then download IE Privacy Keeper then run it and click on "View" and it will take you to that folder

No problem. IE privacy Keeper gives you easy access to some system folders and allows you to delete the data easily.
If you just want to access your cookies folder then you can click the start orb and type in the search field : %appdata%\microsoft\windows\cookies

The IE Privacy Keeper is not working on my Vista Home Edition and I copied the file name u gave me above and put in serach and it said nothing found. Is there something wrong with my computer then?
My Computer
Not necessarily, it says nothing found when I do it, too.
I don't use IE, but if you check Tools>Internet Options >General , you may have it set to delete cookies on exit ?

It is a hidden folder.
You need to go to Folder Options>View , then dot "Show hidden files, folders and drives" as in the photo. then Apply and OK.
Hope it helps

CK1601,
The Cookies folder is a hidden protected operating system file, you will also need to uncheck the Hide protected operating system files option as well as select Show hidden files, folder, and drives in Folder Options.
Hope this helps,
Shawn

If IE Privacy Keeper wont install and none of the previous methods are working for you then you can download the version that doesnt require it to be installed. Its called the TakeAlong version.

Thanks for the information on this. I have a question. What advanage is there to viewing my cookie folder? Is it to check for tracking cookie etc. or something else? I will wait for a reply before I change the settings suggested above. Thank You.
