Rather than bring down my system by experimenting, I thought I'd ask the list, "What happens if I delete this file?" and "What happens if I delete (edit) the cookies?"
I know that there were already several replies so I'll just add a little more information. If you are in DOS, you can prevent the cookies file from being written to by making it read-only (attrib +r cookies.txt). Ditto for UNIX. Also, if you have Netscape 3.04b, you can enable a security option that notifies you whenever a server attempts to send you a cookie. - -- Mark =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= markm@voicenet.com | finger -l for PGP key 0xe3bf2169 http://www.voicenet.com/~markm/ | d61734f2800486ae6f79bfeb70f95348 "Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four.
