This bring to mind a question I've been meaning to ask for a while:

I used to run a linux system, and I solved the cookie problem by
making the cookies file into a symbolic link to /dev/null

I wanted to do that with OS X using IE5.2, but I can't find the cookies
file anywhere.  Does anyone know where that file is?  I tried

find . -iname "*cook*" -print

but it doesn't find anything.  Also, do you think I gained anything
by sym-linking to /dev/null, or is it equally effective to just rm
the cookies file?

Thanks,
Chris
