Cookies in IE, Microsoft Updates

Microsoft on Second tuesday of every month releases updates.

Anyone know of these updates erase temporary username from IE, cookies etc...?

Thanks.

Not always but yes, when they release security updates to internet explorer they often change/reset security levels but I have never seen them actually delete cookies.

This is why you should read the updates before you apply them.

I'm not applying the updates... it's windows updates.

I meant Windows Updates in my post above which include IE updates and sometimes a new browser. Normally even a new IE preserves things. So normally cookies, passwords and so on are preserved.

For passwords, go to IE, Tools, Internet Options, Content and click on forms settings. There are settings in there to save passwords. Make sure those are set.

Also your user could have a virus. VERY common for ordinary people.
