Hi Rick, The same happens with me and, indeed, everyone else. Sometimes the computer becomes slow, (mine is a H-P Pentium Vectra), 166 Mhz9) if we don't delete them from time to time (at least two or three times per week in my case, at least). You go to *FIND* write cookies in *named*, click on *Find now* and, after the opreration is complete, you click on the first, pressing the *shift* button, and go to the end maintaining the shift button pressed. They all change colour and then you click over that series of files with the right hand button of your mouse, a menu appears and then you choose delete. There they go to the recycle bin. But... be prudent. I'm not sure but it seems a few cookies are needed (don't remember which or why). Wait for some other assistance... and excuse me for being so descriptive for, very probably, you already know all these steps...
