i have just installed ccleaner in order to rid my pc of the abundance of cookies. it does appear to of deleted some, but not all. for instance im sick of loads of my previous & other peoples email addresses poping up & having to scroll down until i get to my current one. it seems to of removed the cookies i dont mind, but left the ones that are a pain. how do i get rid of these annoying cookies? it doesnt seem to of worked properly on msn explorer or internet explorer. what i really want to be able to do is select which cookies i remove if possible.
id appreciate some advice please. thanks.

Hello and welcome to the forum firestorm,

If you open ccleaner and go to options, select the cookies button and there you will be able to either save or delete your cookies depending on which column you put them in.

See this thread on Cookies

Check both lists. If they differ, you may have to manually delete some from one list (they're not really there, just the names are) to bring them into synch.
