Restricted Sites

Somewhere between going from SP2 to SP3 and/or from EI6 to EI7, my Cookie
folder has suddenly turned up as a 'Restricted Site'
I have found it by using a search utility then right click on "Explore"
however, it is not visible by any of the 'usual methods'

Anybody know why MS would decide to make the Cookie folder basically
invisible to the casual user? Maybe the phishing site owners want their
cookies to stay hidden.

Interesting - and seems a little dishonest. I'm sure I'm missing something
here - what is it?

Thx

Dave
