I have a problem where I am using ASP.Net to write a cookie. The code is correct and works great in Firefox and also works in IE on other machines. My machine, however, does not want to play ball. I have reset the settings in IE to no avail. The only thing that makes it work is when I uncheck the Protected Mode in the security settings, but then I get an annoying pop-up everytime I open a new browser.

The plot thickens…

On other machines, this Protected Mode is checked and the cookie is being written. Any ideas?

    Not sure if this affects the Cookie issue, but:

    With the IE 7 Protected Mode Turned On, the browser essentially runs as a low privilege process; as a result of which it can store / read / write cookies in the LOW version of the Cookies folder:

    C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies\Low

    But if you have turn UAC off or Disabled the Protected Mode in IE 7, in Windows Vista, they (like cache, temp & history) will mostly be stored in:

    C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies
