Well, it works now, that's the main point? :-) I belong to too many places so cleaning out my cookies too often is just a pain as I have to remember all my passwords, etc. Just make sure you don't clean your "temp" files too often as some of those your system "needs" and uses/cleans in its own time.

Deleting cookies doesn't really help the user too much unless they wander a whole lot and haven't cleaned them for a "long" time; for sites like PC where one has to register, all the cookie information/settings is contained in the registration info so when you log in, it just gives you a new cookie with your same info. So, it doesn't necessarily make sense to keep deleting and getting new cookies constantly. It's not really "cleaning" because the cookies are needed to wander around your usual sites and just make things take longer for the user if they're "missing". Running Ad-Aware or some program like that every couple days is a more useful route, gets rid of the "clingy" stuff :-) that may not be friendly but doesn't disturb what you "need" like cookies.
