Ack! Augeas was right, and the solution was obvious. He said: You can of course delete cookies in the list by ticking the Cookies box in Cleaner/Windows/Internet Explorer and/or Cleaner/Applications/Firefox or whatever, and running CCleaner. The reason I asked the question on the forum was because I could swear that I ran CCleaner specifically to see if that would clear out the list of cookies to delete, but it didn't. Obviously I must have made some simple mistake; maybe I had the Firefox check box accidentally unchecked. Duh. In any event, all I wanted to do was what my question asked: to clear out the "Cookies to Delete" field. Everyone over-thought the question because they couldn't imagine that anyone would ask such an obvious question!...but I did. Thanks a lot for all your comments. It was amusing to read the creative interpretations of what I might have been up to! papyrus

I haven't read all of the forums or the help files cover-to-cover, but I've meandered through them and haven't found an answer to this question. In my case, the "Cookies to Delete" field (Options tab > Cookies) has addresses in it that I want to remove from the field. This is for a variety of privacy reasons -- I haven't frequented terrorist sites or anything like that. (Although there is also a site that I ended up on inadvertently and would like to remove.) Note that I'm not saying that I want to delete cookies from these sites, but that I want to remove the sites' addresses from the "Cookies to Delete" list box. There must be a way to do this. This is a product whose purpose is to protect privacy, among other things. It seems strange to me that anyone could run the program and see a list of sites that I've been on just by looking at that "Cookies to Delete" list box. Thanks...
