Hi again Laura, Well, keep in mind I'm just learning, grin, and it was mentioned on the list before, or at least I believe it was, that one would have to connect to Activesync to erase cookies and all. But, after playing around some more, and switching between folders and directories and hidden files and the like, well, I was able to access and delete cookies. And, I could tell from their names that they were from the sites I had just visited before going and trying to delete them. And, I even saw those folders, or are they subdirectories, way down there in the temporary files directory, but I was too chicken to try and delete any of them. I have saved your e-mail for future reference, though, and I'm sure it will come in handy from time to time when I don't want to deal with Activesync. Thanks again. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Laura Wolk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 2004 6:23 PM Subject: Re: [Braillenote] clearing cookies and temporary files with the PK
Hi Vicky: That's so strange--I wonder why you're unable to access the files directly even? Hmm, well at least you got it sorted out. Also, the reason you didn't see any files in those strange looking subdirectories is because they are "hidden" files, and you would have had to have pressed space with x (read with x) to display all files. Don't worry though, you hardly missed out on much by exploring them. <grin> Laura ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vicky Collins" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, December 20, 2004 9:32 PM Subject: Re: [Braillenote] clearing cookies and temporary files with the PK > Hi Laura, > > Thanks much for your info.
