Hello All,  One last thing.  Perhaps it is good to do what I periodically
do - - - I actually go look at the cookie files and delete all of the
obvious junk ones.  Things like web statistics, hit counter and other
obvious things get axed immediately.  Do not remove good ones - you should
be able to tell which ones they are just by the name.  Check periodically
because new ones sneak in all the time.  These are not deleted automatically
as are the other "Temporary Internet Files" and require personal attention!
Another solution is a firewall program that can be configured to block
cookies. This can be configured to allow "session cookies" or cookies from
"personalized services" and to block ALL others.  (ZoneAlarm Pro is my
weapon of choice)  73, Bill
