I have a user that gets a "please enable cookies" type message on any
website that uses them (i.e. yahoo mail, imdb, etc.) although all setting
for cookies are ON and even tried allowing ALL cookies of any type.

What'sup wit dat?

WinXP-sp2 (Media Edition), IE 6-sp1

Any ideas?

btw, I tried setting cookies to Always Prompt and it DOES prompt for cookies
on some sites, but the ones that are using cookies for authentication
(username/password verification) do NOT work. :p They don't prompt for a
cookie; just give the error message below.

Hi,
Is a third-party security/privacy program blocking cookies?

Option B:
The Cookies folder may be corrupt. Login to the machine's administrator
account (startup in safe mode) or as another user with admin privileges and
delete the damaged Cookies folder at
C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Cookies.

Option C:
