I haven't heard of this happening, but with a little more information I may be able to help. Specifically, what are the directories of the old and new folders? Also, do you have any programs that work with IE (clean out old files, plug-ins, etc)? Finally, when you say XP won't let you copy them over, does it provide a specific error? (Such as file in use, duplicate file, etc.) Post this info and I, or another member, will get back to you as soon as possible.

I'm not sure how it happened, but somehow IE 6.02 changed my Temporary Internet Files folder two days ago and created a brand new folder that doesn't contain any of my previously stored cookies that I had saved to remember my personalized settings for many different websites.
I have found the folder with ALL of the old cookies still there (a relief!), but I cannot find a way to access those cookies again. I cannot reset that folder as the Temporary Internet Files folder.
I tried copying and pasting the old cookies into the new Temporary Internet Files folder, but IE and/or XP-sp2 won't let me do that. I tried copying the ''INDEX.DAT'' file from the folder containing all my old cookies and settings, but I don't know to where I should copy the "INDEX.DAT" file so that IE will once again be able to access ALL of the cookies I've previously stored.
I have also tried the Import/Export Wizard in IE, but when I must choose a file to export, I cannot select more that one file/cookie at at time so that I can import them all at once.
I don't care that much about how or why this happened (although, that would be helpful, too
I just want to be able to access all that user information I've carefully and meticulously stored in all those cookies that now I can't access!
