    I've noticed this happening way back, but when I started using Windows Vista the bug was gone. i'm back to XP now and i'm suffering.

    Everytime I reboot all cookies are cleared and I have to type my password/username everywhere.
    What do do?

    using XP SP3 btw

    (i'm sure I haven't checked the delete cookies in CCleaner though)

    CCleaner / Options / Cookies and you can specify which cookies you want to keep, even if you tick the delete cookies box in CCleaner.

    Better to clear out the junk!

    Is not safe to leave cookies in your PC, people can steal personal data.
