Hi Laura, Thanks much for your info. And, well, grin, seeing as this seemed easier than working on the planner problem that Dean is very nicely helping me with, I decided to take a look at it first.
Anyway, I just couldn't access those folders on the PK itself. But, rather, I had to connect via Activesync, and then access them with my desktop computer. Under the Windows folder, I did find the profiles one, then a guest one was under that, and then the cookies and history and temporary internet files folders were under the guest folder. Under the cookies folder, I found a file called index.dat, and then several txt files that were cookies which I deleted. Under the history folder, I found a desktop.ini file, and a folder called history.IE5. In this folder, I found two files, another desktop.ini and an index.dat. But, then, I am able to clear the history, and had just recently done that. Then, finally, in the temporary internet files folder, I had another desktop.ini file, and a content.IE5 folder. Then, in this folder, I had two more files, index.dat and desktop.ini. I further had in this folder several more folders, all of which appeared to be empty, and all of which seemed to have weird names, such as YHR12UVN and XVIWJBHA. Anyway, thanks again for the info, as at least I know where and how to look for this now. ----- Original Message ----- From: "laura wolk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, December 20, 2004 4:53 PM Subject: re: [Braillenote] clearing cookies and temporary files with the PK hi Vicky: I don't know if this has been discussed yet, but it strikes me as a much easier way to deal with your problem, especially considering the finicky nature, at best, of active-sync. I don't own a PK but I'm assuming it will work in a similar fashion do to the same keysoft platform. >From the main menu, press f to enter the file manager, followed by d to >access the directory option.

Perhaps you will be able to erase the "cookies" and "temporary internet files" directories themselves, and o have to worry about each individual subdirectory/file. I'll do some testing and let you know. For now, please try this method and let me know how you find it.
