    Appreciate some assistance.

    In IE 6.0 Tools>Internet Options>General tab, deleted Temporary Internet Files. Did this while off-line.

    Right clicked Start, chose Explore, and went to Temporary Internet Files under C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files. Still, all sorts of files there!!

    Your thoughts...where did I go astray?

    After emptying the cache, you will still see Cookie entries there. The "real" cookies are under \Windows\Cookies. The ones in \TIF are just pointers to the real ones.

    Thank you for the replies.

    Ended up deleting the TIFs in MS-DOS.

    DOS does not seem to interfere or conflict with programs like Windows does.

    Doing surgery to Windows from DOS seems logical. Doing surgery to Windows from Windows....hmmmmm

    Will check out Spider.
