I made myself a xmsdrive, and put my temporary internet files on it, then edited my registry to move cookies and cache to the drive.

That way, when I restart my computer, all the cookies and files are gone!

I also use an anti-tracking zone that I made for Internet Explorer.

here is where you can get the ramdrive :

You will need to manually edit the registry to make sure you have all the references to cookies and cache set to the xmsdrive.

This does NOT work with Windows Me, since Micro$oft screwed all the new users by removing the good DOS stuff.

Copy the below to notepad, and save as .reg
Then click on it and allow the merge. Restart to make the changes. This works with all internet explorer 5.x and above.
It makes another security zone just for the spyware sites that want to put cookies on your computer. You can add additional sites as the need arises. Just look in the security zones in IE to see the new zone.
