I don't think the problem is deleting the cookies or temp files. That in itself isn't a problem because Windows will just recreate them as necessary or whatnot. The danger is if they're corrupted. Windows sees the file there, it sees that the header is intact (which is quite possible) so it might just assume the file is fine ... then it hits the corruption. Written properly, it should just junk the file and start again however you don't know what might happen ... especially if the file is mainly text (such as a cookie) and gets partially overwritten with text (quite possible if you've got a lot of text in RAM). Its a bit like the good ol' C programmer's nightmare ... you've got a pointer which is wrong but you don't know it and it gives you the right answer most of the time because it just so happens to point to stuff that looks awful similar to what it was supposed to point to so your program doesn't actually realize anything is wrong until you have to demonstrate it to your boss ... - Raymond P.S.
