I would of thought that importing all the cookie files would do it, kind of strange.

i just went to new laptop instead of messing with IE i just opened google crome no cookies added logged into eb it was unlocked again . listed item no problems .. something with the IE and cookies i was importing .. not sure .... but working as of now on new laptop

Good to hear....ever thought of using Portable Browsers along-side with your Separate User Accounts?

Re: i exported cookies to new laptop browser
 

yea i just started firefox portable on 7 new accounts . if i been using IE for years is there a way to start using portable fox in place of IE on old accounts ? Or better just to leave well enough alone ?

Re: i exported cookies to new laptop browser
 

I would definitely move to a Portable Browser, that way you can take that Portable with you on a flashdrive or similar and use it on a different computer if you have too. I even have a Bootable Windows Flashdrive in case I gotta use someone else's Computer.

i was always worried about losing flash drive or stop working .. can i make 2 copies on 2 different flash drives in case someday one stops working or will that cause problems if i try to use portable browser that has been sitting while the other has been getting new cookies for months ?

Re: i exported cookies to new laptop browser
 

Yeah you can make 2 copies, you can even upload or backup your files online as well....

Re: i exported cookies to new laptop browser
 

so if i make 2 copies to 2 flash drives i use one for a year the other just sits put away . the one been using stops working . the one put away wouldnt have the same cookies this wouldnt cause a problem? and thanks for the help

Re: i exported cookies to new laptop browser
 

Ideally you should backup the one you use regularly onto the 2nd Flash Drive.....I do this once a month.

Re: i exported cookies to new laptop browser
 

that makes sense :) thanks

How do you put a portable browser on a flash drive.

Re: i exported cookies to new laptop browser
 

First, you should understand what a Portable Program is....basically a Portable App is exactly that...portable. This means that the program will run no matter where it's located, all the files it needs to run....are contained in a folder.

So, the first step would be to download the Portable Browser Installer of your choice. Then, you just run the Installer every time you wish to make a new Browser....could not be any simpler.

Re: i exported cookies to new laptop browser
 

yea i understand portable browser got 10 accounts running it. i just got a couple accounts running IE that dont seem to be storing cookies as do the other accounts seems all the setting i know to look for concerning cookies acceptance is all set EXACTLY the same as other accounts .. I am sure if i used a new browser while its locking up would just trigger same . i can try it erase the entire user account reinstall and only use the porta fox see how that goes .. I just hate not knowing what is causing the problem
