When I used to right click the Start button and the left click Explore, I
could see the Cookies folder just under Owner. Now it's missing. Perhaps
instead of deleting all the cookies (except Index), I deleted the entire
folder.

Should I have this folder? Is it possible to put it back? How do I do this?

Did you just upgrade to IE7? Is your folder options showing Protected
Operating System Files?

AFAIK cookies folder will be recreated if it's deleted (but I may be wrong).
