I'm confused....LOL as usual, why do you need a password to delete cookies?

You never delete cookies to clean up your computer, to make it run faster???
Maybe I am doing something wrong. When you do that, it deletes all of your passwords.

I delete my cookies once a month, but it has never deleted my passwords.

Yes, Donna, I've done that too. I've gotten where I keep all of my passwords written down in a little book just for that reason. Plus, I've got so many passwords and user names anymore that it's hard to keep track of them. It can be really fustrating when you can't remember them. Usually if you can remember the user name then you can ask it to send you an e-mail with the password in it.

This is driving me crazy, but my computer is much faster after I clean it up.
I have notes all over my desk with passwords, just trying to find them is driving me crazy.
At least I found this one.
Stay warm my dear friends.

I typed up a list of all of my passwords and saved it as a web page, which I bookmarked. Now, all I have to do is to look it up on the list. I just add new ones as they come along.

How do you delete cookies? I have never done that. I defragment, and that's it.

I open IE and go to tools and delete cookies.

Guess I've been pretty lucky then....I've never had a password deleted.

Judy, don't forget to print a copy in case something would ever happen to your computer.

I don't use IE. I use Mozilla. Does it matter? Should I still go to IE to clean out the cookies?

Janet - what do I have to back up? Just my passwords?

What flavor are the cookies? Can I eat them? Do computer made cookies have calories?
