Cookie removal:
1) Open your web browser. I'll assume you are using Internet Explorer,
the one with the big blue "e" logo.
2) Go to the Tools menu. Choose "Internet Options". In the resulting
dialog window, there is a "Delete Cookies" button. Click it. Agree to
the following message.
Under "Internet Options" are 6 tabs: General, Security, Content,
Connections, Programs, Advanced. I don't see anything about cookies
under any of those tabs. I'm stuck with W2K. IE is 5.50.4807.2300CO.
3) That's it!
It's really exactly the same as on Linux, since the cookies are stored
by the web browser, not the operating system (yes I know the lines are
blurred with Windows/IE). Mozilla Firefox works the same way, just go to
Edit > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies > Clear.
In Netscape/Mozilla the cookies are stored in a simple text file.
If you are out of the program, all you have to do is clean out
that file.
echo -n > ~/.mozilla/$LOGNAME/*/cookies.txt
It can be done in a nightly cron job.
The effect is that your stored login information for certain websites
will be cleared, as well as a bunch of other useless junk. It's a good
thing to clear cookies once in a while.
