How to Delete Cookies for Windows Vista
Cookies are little text files that are created by the websites you visit to save information about your activities when you're surfing the Internet. Most cookies are simply placeholders, but some track your Web whereabouts and pop-ups and other advertisements are made to reflect what the cookie-makers see as your interests. Either way, deleting cookies is easy in Windows Vista, and it's a good idea to get rid of them from time to time because they can slow down your computer if they're allowed to pile up too high.
