Enabling Cookies:)

[mrdreamjeans]

Being the non-tech man that I am, I am using my friend Dave's Dell desktop in Seattle and having trouble checking my mail. I keep getting a warning message when I sign onto AOL through his MSN dial-up; it says I can't read my mail because the cookies are disabled.

Who knew? As an devotee of sweets, I can't quite put my mind around the idea of how anyone could handicap a cookie. I mean, how could anyone hurt an innocent cookie? Or, should I eat the cookies to put them out of their misery?

If I enable the cookies, will I actually be giving them a better life, or will I just be helping them descend into a slippery slope of milk-dipping... throwing ingredients together that shouldn't be allowed to mix... allowing them to be, (gasp) store-bought rather than home-made? Am I being an enabler through my addiction to chocolate-chip cookies and discarding or ignoring the appeal of others?

Oh... wait a minute...What? You say "enabling cookies" is a computer term... that there is a solution to my problem if I just knew what I was doing....

Never mind:)

If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer, go to the tab that says TOOLS, then choose INTERNET OPTIONS, then choose the PRIVACY tab, and move the slider all the way down to enable all cookies. Just remember to put it back how it was before. If you are using another browser, then I don't know.

If all goes smoothly, you will be a cookie enabler, and should feel guilty for enabling those little cookies.
