I am using my daughter PC which is a DELL. When I had my old PC I knew how to delete Cookies but this PC is so different.As you can see I am Not PC Literate..
Can someone that has a DELL PC please help Me?

Is there a particular reason you want to delete cookies? On a public computer it's generally considered a good idea, but on a relatives private computer it may not really be necessary, depending on what websites you've visited and what info you're trying to protect.

If you are using Internet explorer (opened with the the blue e icon) click on the tools menu on the top of the screen. Select "internet options" then in the menu it'll have a button for 'delete cookies'

If per chance she is using a different program such as Mozilla Firefox, you'll go to tools menu, then select "clear private data" and go from there.

Hi K.

If you click "delete cookies" you will delete all of your daughter's cookies as well.

Is there a particular cookie that you wish to delete?

I regularly clean out the cookies... sometimes it is necessary in order to get new flight listings to come up when you're checking a particular itinerary...
The worst thing that happens is you have to log into your sites the next time you go there.

If you delete all, make sure you remember all the user IDs and passwords you've ever established, for that's where they're stored.

You eat it.

Call the Cookie Monster!

Autocomplete login information such as username and password is not usually saved in cookies (and it shouldn't be in any case, for security reasons).

I would have no hesitation in deleting all cookies if I thought they were in the way.

But you have a little book where you keep all your passwords anyway. You don't? How do you plan to get into passworded sites after you've replaced your crashed hard drive?

(By the way, a strategy I have found workable is to only allow session cookies for sites like eurostar.com so that it doesn't remember what nationality I entered the last time.)

That's true, I keep my signons in a spreadsheet, except for anything truly important (banking, etc).

Um, the spreadsheet won't be accessible if your hard drive goes up to live with Jesus.

This is one case where good old-fashioned dead trees do the best job.

Use the Main Menu option "Find", and then do a search for "Cookies." You'll find the folders which contain them. Then use Windows Explorer to find that folder and the files within it.

If you then want to erase the cookie for "BikiniBabes.Com" without deleting any other cookies, you can easily do so.

I have the spreadsheet at home -and- at work (and soon, on my new ppc!)

< How do you plan to get into passworded sites after you've replaced your crashed hard drive? >

Having lived through more than one hard drive failure over the years the answer is pretty straightforward. I follow the first 3 rules of computers.

#1 - make a backup
#2 - make a backup
#3 - make a backup

External harddrive with all important files, backed up approx once a month.

And stored off-site.

I had a CPA client whose life blood was in computer files: client files, billing files, the whole nine yards. He <i>religiously</i> made a backup at the end of every working day, and rotated a week's worth of tapes through a UL-approved fireproof safe bolted to the floor. When the burglars broke in, they took the two most expensive-looking things in the office.

The computer. And the safe.

Thanks Everyone,I am beginning to see the light...

You are right KEITH, the cookies are delicious, would you like to join Me?
