Cookies and IE Privacy Keeper?

[Guest XS11E]

I dual booted between XP and Vista Ultimate 64 for a very long time,

now moving hard drives around has caused me to do a fresh install of

Vista 64 on the new hard drive and I've got a weird problem....

 

My only version of Vista ran IE Privacy Keeper and it worked with no

problems, the new install of Vista does not.

 

I'm unable to use the "Keep Selected Cookies" feature because my old

Vista install kept Cookies in:

 

Users\(user name)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies

 

and the new install keeps Cookies in:

 

Users\(user name)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies\Low

 

Naturally, IE Privacy Keeper won't show cookies and changing the

Locations section in IE Privacy Keeper doesn't fix the problem, when I

click on the "View" link after the "Keep Selected Cookies" link (on the

IE tab) I still see the \Cookies folder rather than the \Cookies\Low

folder. Modifying the settings.iepk file doesn't seem to help either.

 

Anyone know what's going on? Why does one install of Vista keep

cookies in a different folder than a later install does?

Looks like I was completely wrong as to what was happening. I logged

onto my old Vista install and found that the creation of the ...\Low

folder is from some IE update, my old Vista install had the ...\Cookies

folder with the cookies I'd told IE Privacy Keeper to retain but it

also had the ...\Low folder with EVERY DANG COOKIE I'd encountered

since installing whatever update it was.

 

So it looks like I'm going to either learn to live with CCleaner or try

to find what update to IE 7 caused the cookies to be moved to the \Low

folder since IE Privacy Keeper can't see that folder for some reason?

the Low folder is one of those new things. Sigh.

 

Best solution I know is to get in the habit of regularly clearing all stored

content, including cookies.

I was, the update broke that, danggit! I've removed IE Privacy Keeper

and installed CCleaner. I don't like it as well but it works with the

updates so all is OK again.

 

I've emailed the IE Privacy Keeper folks and should have a response

sometime in the next 5 years... <sigh>

I've got IE Privacy Keeper working again but I'm not happy with the

fix.

 

IE7 is now storing cookies in:

C:\Users\<user-name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies\Low

 

I deleted the "Low" folder but, of course, it came right back so I

tried turning off UAC and deleting the "Low" folder, it works, IE

Privacy Keeper is working just fine now but I can't turn UAC back on.

 

I'd MUCH rather have IE Privacy Keeper than I would UAC so it's off

until a fix is found. I've written several times to:

 

http://www.unhsolutions.net/support.html

 

telling them what I've found but I've not heard back from them. Others

tell me they're pretty slow to respond but I've got my fingers

crossed....

 

I figure I've lived TRSDOS, DOS, Windows 3.0 etc., etc. w/o UAC so I

might as well live w/o it now but I *do not* recommend turning UAC off

to others.

No, I won't turn off UAC. But since I haven't got anything I use that they

haven't found a workaround for, not an issue.
