My cookies are disappearing and I have to log in to sites that should be logging me in automatically. This just started happening about 2 weeks ago and is happening about every 4 or so days.

Run adaware, spybot search and destroy, and an antivirus program.

You could aslo try out FireFox.;)

Ran Spybot and Nortons. I have Firefox installed but I am so used to IE I always forget to run it.

Had the same problem. Set FireFox to be your default browser and remove any IE shortcuts you have.

Never had my cookies delete themselves, but IE resets my history every couple of weeks for no reason...and yes, I've tried changing the "number of days to keep pages in history" setting

Jeez, another problem.
I had my Temp Internet File size set to 10MB. It somehow got set to 2026MB. :confused:

Ya, it tends to do that for some reason; last week I flushed out a gig in <user home>/Local Settings/Temp/Temporary Internet Files/, which isn't even the right Temp Internet Files folder; it's all supposed to be in <user home/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files/

PS I just had all my cookies go belly-up on me earlier tonight. Wierd :Q
