Where are cookies stored in IE7?

Funny thing I just noticed since upgrading to IE7 — can anyone shed some light?

I don't want to clear all cookies, just certain ones (Ryanair's, in this instance)

According to the help file, 'Cookies are stored is in [sic] a folder named Cookies which is stored inside the Documents and Settings folder. By default, the path is C:\Documents and Settings\your user name\Cookies'.

This was the case before I upgraded from IE6, but now there's no such folder. I've checked the advanced settings, and there's nothing there to indicate I've anything but the default privacy settings. I've also searched the whole C: drive for 'Cookies' and 'Ryanair', to no avail.

So where does IE7 hide the cookies..? :confused:
 
Try searching Google Groups for "IE7 cookies". [broken link removed]

I think the are in TIF (Temporary Internet Files) but Im a FireFox user myself!

My Cookies are located at
c:\documents and settings\username\local settings\temporary internet files
requires that show system and hidden files be enabled as well as protected & operating system files.
 
Egad, you're right, aj — thanks! :)

Dunno why it now lumps the cookies in with all the other TIF, but my immediate problem's solved.
