hmm, still no luck. The problem is not that the cookie in in memory, the
problem is that its still on the hard drive. for example: User Logs On, User
Logs off = cookie still on hd (even if you close the browser) example2:
User restarts browser, User does not log on (cookie info still on hd), User
logs off = works fine.
any ideas?
