WIndow Vista : Where is the Vista cookies folder




The cookies folder in Vista is very well hidden and will take a little bit of digging but here is how to find the folder in Vista where the cookies are stored:

Click on the “Start” button
At the top select your “User” name to get into the user group
Click the “Organize” button and select “Folder and search options” and click the “View” tab and choose “Show hidden files and folders” and also uncheck “Hide protected operating system files”, select “Yes” to confirm “OK” to exit
Now there will be more folders in your User window, find the one named “AppData” and click to open the folder
Inside the AppData folder select “Roaming -> Microsoft -> Windows” and your cookies folder should be right at the top, click on it
You can see all the cookies that different sites are putting on your computer and delete them if you wish. You may see a Low folder in there as well, this is where cookies are kept from websites you have some low user privileges.
