Question How to Stop Cookies from being Deleted Automatically?

I'm running XP MC & IE7 on my laptop and just noticed that cookies have been deleted when I first power up for the last couple of days.

I reformatted about 3 weeks ago so I have a pretty clean install. I have no idea why cookies are being deleted automatically. I have to log into all web sites and then everything is fine while my laptop is running but the next time I turn it on, cookies are gone.

Is there some setting in the startup menu that might cause this? AFAIK, I have not changed any settings that would clear them.

Thanks in advance

All sorts of programs like Ad-Away/Sypbot have options to zap cookies.

The only 3rd party utility I currently have installed is CCleaner. I'll have to check the settings.

Thanks

Check your IE settings thoroughly. CCleaner doesn't do that automatically, only when you clean manually.

You mean under IE Internet Options? All I see is an option to delete cookies, not any setting to delete cookies on startup.

If you are actually running ccleaner it WILL delete all of your cookies. Open ccleaner, click on options, then cookies. You will be given a list on the left of cookies in the computer. You can move those you wish to keep to the list on the right. Then when you run ccleaner it will not delete the cookies you have selected to save.
