Limit to # of cookies IE5 can keep track of?
I have IE5.1 set to "Ask for each site" under cookie handling.
This is exactly the setting I want, but it seems to have a limit to how many cookies IE can keep track of. If I decline all cookies from CNN, say, then surf around for a couple of days, and continue to decline cookies from several servers, when I go back to CNN, it will ask me again.
If I manually delete the cookie record from the list (under preferences), it seems to take longer before it runs out of space, or whatever.
This doesn't seem to happen with cookies I accept.
Anybody else seen this behavior?
Anything to be done about it?
-Thanks a bunch

Increase your cache to about 20-30MB and set the number of days in history to about 7-10days.
That should do it...
