Ron,
I use the "Crap Cleaner" everyday. Would this do the same thing in fewer steps as what you have described above? It works for me and it is amazing how many websites put cookies and images on my system just by going to the websites.

This is a free cleaner that cleans all the cookies and it will clean other stuff as well. I have never had any problems with it and I will take no responsibility for anyone else having problems with it. It works for me, but LOOK at what you are about to delete before you delete anything.
