Locating Cookies folder for a particular user and deleting tracking cookies (Windows Vista)

I recommend that you perform the steps mentioned below to delete cookies from Windows Vista:

1. Click on the “Start” button
2. At the top select your “User” name to get into the user group
3. Click the “Organize” button and select “Folder and search options” and click the “View” tab and choose “Show hidden files and folders” and also uncheck “Hide protected operating system files”, select “Yes” to confirm “OK” to exit
4. Now there will be more folders in your User window, find the one named “AppData” and click to open the folder
5. Inside the AppData folder select “Roaming -> Microsoft -> Windows” and your cookies folder should be right at the top, click on it
6. You can see all the cookies that different sites are putting on your computer and delete them if you wish. You may see a Low folder in there as well, this is where cookies are kept from websites you have some low user privileges.
