Vista - how to view cookies on vista

On XP, cookies were in a folder in C:\Documents and Settings\<userid>\ and
you could look at them whenever you wanted.

Where are they in Vista?

Thanks,
GM

Start - in the search box, type Shell:cookies

Is there anything special that needs to be done with permissions on this?
When logged in as myself I cannot view anything, especially when trying to
look at AppData, Cookies, etc. Its very frustrating. This is the first
Vista box on our domain and I am the test dummy. I have added my login as an
administrator and have no luck still.

I've had similar problems. I couldn't open any of Documents, My Pictures,
My..., cookies, etc. When I tried to open the files I was told access was
denied. I had to go under C:\User\username\cookies for example. The folder
would have an arrow on the icon like XP used to use for links. I right
clicked the folder and went to Share. I then told Vista I wanted to change
the sharing settings. I usually had to delete "everyone" in the next box.
Click Share to close box. I always got an error message. Ignore it. Repeat
the process and chose "Stop sharing this folder" under Share. After that I
was able to open the folder. Don't ask me why this helped, but I hope it at
least puts you on the correct track.

Make sure the folders don't have the link arrow on them. I see a cookie
folder when I open start under my user name. If you click on the folder to
open it , it will deny you access. However, if you trace the link to it's
actual location listed in the other replies (User,<user name>, app data,
roaming, microsoft, windows, cookies) you should be able to open and explore
it.
