yokenny, thanks for taking the time to respond but seriously, with all the cleaners out there why would I risk tweaking this one to get it to do what it says it already does? It clearly has the option to ignore cleaning IE, but if you set it that way it goes ahead and cleans IE against your wishes. With a cost of about 20-30 mins to repair the damage done, why bother. Again thanks for your generosity, I wish it worked for me. bean P.S. They don't speak english in Canada, do they? LOL

Thanks davey! It says I have XP sp3, but the XP package it came in says XP pro. All I can tell you is I have CC set with CC> Windows> and under the Internet Explorer nothing is checked, not one thing. But, when I run CC, then go back to IE> Internet Option>Cookies the folder is emptied out completely. I have close to 20 sites that I then have to go back to and re-enter usernames and passwords which is to much of a pain to ever try running CC again. Unfortunately, the only way to follow any suggestions is to risk having to go through this process over and over. Not doing it. I appreciate your efforts and have no doubt CC is a quality product, I just need a cleaner that when told to leave cookies alone will do just that. Thanks again, bean

YoKenny, I have no idea, I'm not really a computer guy. The problem I have might also include the problem volland has but I don't know. All I wanted was for CC to not touch the cookies at all so I never looked at the keep/dump thing. I do know that when it comes to finding the cookies at clean up time, CC finds them because after a cleaning their all gone.

Thanks davey but, I have all items in the Cleaner> Windows tab > Internet Explorer unchecked. I assumed that would make Cleaner ignore the cookies but, it does not. Also, I'm using IE7. I've tried it with the suggestion you made as well, no dice. It deletes all cookies no matter how I set it.

If you're talking to me, they are cookies from banks and things, also the opt out cookies from every cookie monster that has opt out cookies. The problem is that CC dumps them all when I've set it to leave it's grubby mitts off my cookies.

I just started using this two days ago. I have it set to leave the cookies alone but it still deletes all of them. Serious pain in the rear. Let me know if this can REALLY be set to leave the cookies alone. Thanks
