Re: Cookie problem

It depends on which browser you are using and on what platform. On the MacOS in IE you can view cookies by going to Edit -> Preferences -> Cookies in Netscape you can also view the cookies with the Preferences menu. On the PC it's a little more difficult. In IE you go to Tools -> Internet Options -> General [Tab] -> Settings -> View Files... and then sort by file type, go down to text files and you'll see all your cookies. Now in Netscape I think it's a little bit easier, but I am afraid I do not have netscape currently on the pc machine (will get it soon) so I cant help you there, but I do believe it's a lot easier. In other words you can almost always view your cookies within the browser application menus.
