I ran CCleaner (latest version) today on a relatively new Win 7 64 Vaio laptop. I foolishly didn't look at the categories that CCleaner deletes and it wiped my IE8 cookies (it also cleaned the registry). Fine, no problem - I'll just visit all my regular sites and re-login. Well now no matter what I do - I have reset all the security and privacy settings in IE8 - cookies won't stick. Everytime I shut down my computer, all the cookies go. What can I do to fix this problem? Do I need to do a system restore? Will that even help?
Merge the backup CCleaner created when you cleaned the Registry. (double-click on it)
