Windows XP and cookies

texte = I'm using the [SETCOOKIE] tag for member login at www.musicaviva.com and recently I've had some problems with members being unable to log in. Apparently the problem is that the latest version of Windows/IE doesn't accept cookies without an expiration date, that is cookies that are supposed to expire on quitting the browser. Have anybody else had similar problems? I think I've managed to solve it by adding an expiration date (two days into the future) to the cookie tag, but there are still two rather weird details: *With iCab the cookie still expires when quitting. *With Win XP/IE 6 the cookie is not stored as an ordinary cookie, but as a hidden file in the Temporary Internet Files folder. Does anybody know what causes these irregularities, and is it something I should worry about?
