Guest Pete Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 In the old days I could find the cookies on my system by just searching for "cookies" but now IE has the option to eliminate them. But where are those cookies actually stored now (which folder)? And when I view a "video on demand" where are those files stored? Sure, I can use Disk Cleanup to eliminate downloded videos and other things, but I really like to know how things work on my XP Pro PC. I'm running IE7, if it matters. Thanks. -- Pete

If it's "video on demand," it sounds like a case of streaming, so it won't be stored anywhere. If you wish to download a streaming video, there are applications for this purpose. But if you're concerned that large video files are clogging up your hard drive, you need not be concerned.
