That's a total of one click and FOURTEEN keystrokes -- whereas in XP Pro I can be looking at my Cookies with FIVE quick clicks of the mouse -- from the desktop. You are not thinking straight and just keep digging yourself a deeper hole. Good Advice is when you find yourself in a deep, dark, dank, fetid hole -- and the water is coming up around your knees -- it's a good time to stop digging. --------------------------------- This is supposed to be an IMPROVEMENT in Vista, the location of Cookies? Hilarious! Even doing it my way in Vista will take NINE clicks of the mouse from Vista, as contrasted to my FIVE clicks in XP Pro. Hilarious Squared!

[See Below] Does it really matter? If you need to access the cookies dir that often create a shortcut to it. It doesn't matter where it's located. |
