All I know is: Opera & Firefox never share cookies or passwords that would allow them to assume who I was. What I.E. does is a behavior that is similar to I.E./Windows (they are linked in 'interesting' ways) capturing in their 'temp' folders items that I thought were only in Opera's cache. It took me weeks to figure out how to stop THAT! It is hard to even find the storage area, as the coded folders don't even register in many file managers. (I found it by 'backing in' after studying unusual size figures after using a couple of indexing programs.)

I kinda like being in basic control over how *I* manage my computer..(*grin*..as if it wasn't obvious).
