Tools --> Internet Options --> Content --> Autocomplete --> User names and passwords on forms / Prompt me to save passwords

That way you can regularly dump your temp files & cookies, but when you come back to a sign-in form you can just double-click on the sign-in box and your password will be entered automatically.

You may want to clear passwords first at that same location to get rid of any standing info.

Great feature.

PS: That still deletes the cookies at the sites you frequent (which was your question), but it does give you a quick double-click method of getting in without retyping your user name and password.

Hi spree99, last question first, have you tried SpywareBlaster? it should block most of the tracking cookies from getting on your computer. To get rid of the tracking cookies on your computer.
the manual way to delete the cookies you already have on your computer. Windows Me and less, go to windows/cookies folder and delete the cookies you don't like, keep the ones you want. If you have Windows XP, the quickest way to find your cookies folders is to search for them. There is more than one, the ones of most interest are the (user name)\cookies folder, but you may want to check the other ones.

The automatic way to delete cookies, is to get a program to do it for you. In all the programs you manually add the web sites that you want cookies from, and they delete all the other cookies. I like WebWasher classic myself, as it can block other ways of tracking you. As with all programs it is best to read the help file, to know what the different settings do. http://www.webwasher.com/ You can find the classic program in the bottom right corner. One thing about WebWasher, it can cause some music players to not display correctly, Both windows media and real player use scripts, if you have WebWasher setup to block scripts, you need to disable WebWasher to use these music players to there full capacity.
