The 'cookie jar' is a text file somewhere on your system.  Depending on
which browser you use and how you have it set up, the location and name
will vary.

Right, but surely some competent program could make a little utility
to reach out and grab your cookies.txt file and throw it onto a disk.

I'm assuming it would take more than a simple copy process - maybe
changing machine names or something.  Otherwise people could just copy
it themselves.

More people would be likely to do it if there were a nice little
program to do it for them, though.  Double-click.  Click backup.  Take
floppy home.  Double-click.  Click synch.  Shazam!

(...) Well, you need to know the location of cookies.txt, that's the rub. Otherwise, you can just use a DOS Batch file for this task. Jasper (26 years ago, 25-Jan-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
