Hi

Sorry for some reason reply notification failed!

I have installed ProcMon.

Can you tell me what to look for and how to set it up please?

Just out of interest.

Today I tried setting my cookie folder to read only (this is the filde that
holds the text viewable cookies) this made no differance.
I then set index dat to read only, again cookies were lost.

Cheers

Mike
