If you are using Netscape, try doing what I do, which I mentioned a number of posts ago. I don't know why it works, but it does. Make your cookies.txt file "read only." That way, no cookies can ever be written to the file. Again, from what I know about memory cache, cookies, etc, I think it illogical that this should work, but I never get refused a site or page, and I never have cookies written to my system, as long as I use Netscape. I assume some information is getting out via the memory cache, where perhaps cookies temporarily reside, but I also use a simple batch file to erase that cache often, while I surf. Go figure!! For IE use, there are plenty of programs that will delete the cookies that IE places in a few places. I've been using a freeware program called Windows Cleanup, ourworld.compuserve.com, that I just came across recently. (Wonder if Zeuspaul is related to it)<g> Good luck Len
