Decripting a hotmail cookie?

[NikPreviousAcct]

Is it possible? I wanna see all of what gets stored in cookies on my PC. I'm usually good about dumping my cookies once a week, but should I be doing this more often?

cookies are plain text files.

eh? Why does it have a whole bunch of random numbers and letters then?

I guess it's text, but they encoded it - like an asp.net viewstate. If that's the case, I doubt you'll be reading it any time soon

yup they're encoded by the web[app]server. Usually just session info...

Are all cookies that way?
