Internet Explorer cookies in Vista seem to be stored in two user
folders: ...\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies
and ...\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies\Low

You can see the cookies in the first folder with IE tools|Internet
Options|General|Settings|View Files but I can't find a way to access the
"Low" sub-folder.



Does anybody know of a "friendly" way to get at the full cookie list (as
opposed to running Cmd as administrator).

Start > Shell:Cookies\Low

is fairly friendly

Hi,

You would need to edit permissions from the security tab of the folder's
properties and give your user account full control.
