Hi. That's a good question. For me, I use a filtering program called
AdSubtract PRO to manage all my cookies. It's very JAWS friendly. I
can permanently select those cookies I want to keep and mark them as
"trusted" and then delete all other unwanted cookies at my leisure. I
can also easily delete temp files and history in this program but don't
think I can set any parameters to those deletions.
I think it's possible to configure anti-spyware programs such as
Ad-Aware to ignore certain cookies after running a scan but am not sure
of this. In fact, it was suggested to me on this list that deleting
your cookies in Ad-Aware won't necessarily get rid of "all" your cookies
but does rid you of the ones that are the kind you do not want on your
computer. I prefer to scrub my cookies with AdSubtract, though, before
running an Ad-Aware scan. I also use the AdSubtrac program to filter
pop-ups, advertisements, animations, automatic music downloads,
auto-refreshing, etc. For a user of JAWS, it makes navigation on the
Web a lot easier for me.
I wish IE was a bit more flexible when it comes to easily managing
cookies and the like, but so far I haven't found a quick and easy way to
do so in that particular Web browser. Of course, my knowledge of IE's
capabilities is quite limited, so don't take my word for it.

Subject: multiple crashes query
i have been paying attention to the multiple crashes question and
subsequent answers - one of which was very interesting and talked about
cleaning of temp and cookies folders. i have tried this in the past and
found that it did the job required and got rid of a lot of unnecessary
files but also got rid of my passwords and usernames for my internet
connection and passport for messenger - does anyone know of a way that i
can delete all these temp and cookies without removing the important
stuff as well? thanks in advance. stephen
