I used to recall, when i started doing .NET years ago, that cookies written
in js, or .NET cookies, were placed in the cookies folder (documents &
settings, cookies). Now I just see this index.dat file getting updated
instead and I suspect the cookies are held in there somehow. How do you get
back to normal cookies, that I can view, unencrypted etc? Is it an IE6 on
XP issue...?

Hi Curt,
even if i didn't set expiration on them, but i went into windows explorer --
as the browser is open -- and browse to the cookie folder, it should be
there right. All i see is this index.dat file getting updated. I want to
see an actual cookie... I know its there, but its getting sucked up by
index.dat somehow perhaps?
Even when i write it in javascript (& call it from the aspx page, in an
onclick event etc), the js function executes to write the cookie, but the
only thing i see is that darn index.dat file getting updated to the latest
datetime. I dont see a physical cookie .txt file, maybe they're gone in IE6
/ XP ?
TY
open ie
TOOLS - OPTIONS
Temporary Internet Files - SETTINGS
VIEW FILES? start there perhaps.

i know that cookies folder under doc's & settings. Do u have IE6 on XP?
Try writing a cookie from .NET. Then attempt to browse for that cookie txt
file using windows explorer...
I challenge anyone here to find it ;) Its not there. It looks like its
sucked up into index.dat somehow, since thats all thats in that cookies
folder.
I just did this:
HttpCookie c = new HttpCookie("WHE RE_DOES_IT_GO", "COOKIES");
c.Expires = DateTime.MaxVal ue;
c.Path = "/";
Response.SetCoo kie(c);
And the cookie file was immediately created in the cookies folder.
Important to note: without the path the file wasn't created, with the
path it was.
IE 6, XP Pro, .NET 1.0

fascinating. Thanks Jason. I never set the path before, and the cookie
works fine but its invisible. I'm going to try out setting the path as u
suggested, and perhaps i'll finally see it... TY!

What happens when a cookie expires? Does it mean that when the browser or

I am using Opera and looking at available cookies and I can some cookies

I need a simple cookie to be written from dos commands (a batch file), and
go into the cookies folder, to be a textfile that is easily readable -- not
an encrypted thing in the index.dat file (which i think is where .NET

on. My thinking today was to try a js cookie, since .NET cookies are too
difficult to write (need Interop etc).

I have just had a really strange request. I have to modify one of my
programs (User Migration) so that it will migrate a specific cookie to
the new PC. Now, one cannot just copy the cookie to the new PC without
modifyinig the Index.dat file. But, after many hours of Googling, I
cannot find the data structure of this file. Any ideas?
