Actually that is not true Phil, I made a statement about this a few weeks
ago.


Under Internet Explorer, the cookies are not copied across. Internet
explorer uses instances of windows and shares the data/settings of the
windows control panel->Internet Options.


Anytime you open a new browser either by ctrl-n or from the start menu it
will use these settings. I think this change from V4.0 of internet explorer,
to cut down on the amount of memory used by the program.


Cookies will only expire like Dave Watts said, you expire them.


Try it for yourself, write a small app that puts the cfid & cftoken to the
screen nothing more nothing less. Then try opening a new window via both
methods and you will see the cfid & cftoken DO NOT change. If they do then
cookies are not enabled on your machine, simple as that.

I'm not sure of this, because if you close all browsers, then the
cookies are lost

I know that if you Ctrl+N/File, New or Open Link In New Window, then it
copies the cookies over to the new browser, but opening a brand new
browser (from the Start Menu (or Shortcut) then they don't exist
