Thanks to all of you for your input. This isn't a major problem, just an inconvenience. I have used CCleaner for years and love it. I have always overwritten the previous version - which I thought was a GREAT way to handle updates. I never had this problem before on either of my desktops both running XP. Seems to be just my laptop with VISTA. I haven't changed any settings (until now when I created the ini file) so all computers were set up the same way. I know I mentioned that RegCure might have something to do with it, but then I got thinking......I have RegCure on my other computers too and haven't had any problems. So it is a "computer mystery" - one of many in this world. Now that I'm aware that I've lost saved cookies I will try to watch it and see if I can pinpoint what is happening. If I find the reason it's happening, I will post back to this forum to let you know. Donna

I didn't have an ini file but after reading what you have all said, I created one and will try that. You also mentioned that the "registry" would have the entries. I'm wondering if RegCure (my registry cleaner) is deleting the entries from the registry. I didn't know for a long time that CCleaner always had a registry cleaner, but RegCure finds a lot more entries to delete so I've kept using it.

HI DAVEY Did you lose the Cookies from your cookies folder or from CCleaner list of Cookies to save. YES I LOST THEM FROM THE SAVED LIST. If you install the new copy of CCleaner over the old copy then your original CCleaner.ini file will remain. I'VE ALWAYS INSTALLED THE NEW VERSION OVER THE TOP OF THE OLD VERSION SO SOMEHOW IT'S NOT BEING SAVED. Keep a backup copy for this reason. THANKS FOR THE FILE NAME THAT I SHOULD SAVE. THANK GOD I DON'T HAVE A TON OF SAVED COOKIES, BUT HAVING A FILE FOR THEM WILL SAVE TIME. THANKS FOR THE INFO - I'LL TRY IT. (SORRY FOR "SCREAMING" - ALL CAPS - BUT I WAS TRYING TO DISTENQUISH MY ANSWER FROM YOUR COMMENTS.)

Yes I am saving the cookies, that's why I'm so confused as to why they are all of sudden being deleted. Could it be because this is VISTA? I never had problems on XP. Is there a way to save them to a file so that I could at least reinstate them by copying the file into the newer version?

I keep losing the "saved cookies". Is this because I've downloaded and installed a newer version of CCleaner? How can I avoid losing them? Not much point in saving them if they have to be resaved every time a change is made to the version.
