that's a good find as it exposes a hidden location where cookies are
lurking, usually cookies are stored in a browser cache file. the fact
that some cookies are tucked away inside the Microsoft folder is
interesting( i tried this on a vista system and it still works).
with regards to ccleaner, I would recommend yo have it set to do a clean
every time you start your system, that way all the dross from the
previous session will be wiped. I also think that ie can be set to only
remember cookies for the current session but that required a bit more
searching as i generally use Firefox.
