WinXP&IE... Cookies folder magically changed directory...

Recently my ZAPro cookie white list stopped working.
the cookies would show up in the list, but everytime i cleared the others, my white ones would stop working too.

I cleared the whole list to try and refresh my cookies, by signing in to all of the sites again, but they weren't showing back up in the list of cookies.

I fiddled for a while, and finally noticed my cookies are being sent to a different directory than they used to.

They used to go to-
C:\Documents and Settings\Myname\Cookies

but, now they go to
C:\Documents and Settings\Myname\Local Settings\Temp\Cookies

Does anyone have any idea how this may have happened, and if there is a way to get them sent to the old directory so that ZAPro and other programs can see them?

Maybe a registry setting that i can edit...

Thanks

Aren't cookies stored in the temp. internet folder? Some are, and that's even where M$ says they are stored so go into:

Tools > Internet Options > General Tab > Temp. Internet Files Section click the settings button > Goto Move Folder and choose a new location. HTH
