Thanks. Glad to be here. :-) <The one question I can answer is about Internet Explorer. I use version 5, the highest I can go with OS 9.2.2, which by the way is very stable on my 266 G3. As far as cookies go, while the app is open, go the menu bar under 'Edit' and choose 'preferences.' You will see a folder named 'cookies' and a list of options. You do not have to go into the hard drive.> Okay. Mine is IE 5 also, and I went where you told me. Yes, it allowed me to delete cookies already there and decide whether I wanted to accept cookies at all and under what conditions. But that's not quite what I had in mind, and what I'm able to do in both Netscape and iCAB from Preferences in the System Folder. Here's the scoop -- I'm one of those "privacy freaks" who doesn't want to be tracked all over the web. In Netscape and iCAB at least, it's possible not only to get rid of your cookies and make the same choices as the IE menu bar prefs allow you to do in a similar manner, but also to use Get Info to lock down both cookies and global history entirely so you don't leave footprints all over the Net. From what I saw of the Edit Preferences in IE, I can't do THIS, which is what I want to be able to do -- Get rid of all existing cookies and delete global history, then quit. When you reopen, you go to something like Google, pick up one cookie which you keep, quit out, and do the lockdown on the "new" cookies and global history files from the System Folder preferences using Get Info. Then when you reopen, you can tell the browser from the Edit and Preferences in the app itself to accept all cookies -- making it easier to surf -- and, the point of having done this -- the only thing you leave behind you is the evidence that once you visited Google. Additional benefit is that you don't collect a zillion cookies you'll be wanting to delete later. Now -- is it POSSIBLE to do something like this with IE? And if so, how? Thanks so much, ~Yersinia. ________ "I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it" -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
