TPF Noob!
IE and Firefox do share some offline files which he hadn't touched, hence going through all the general tab options rather than just the delete cookies bit, the cookies shouldn't be a problem really but I'm wondering about inherant permissions relating to cookies being picked up by firefox on the install (I use Opera so I'm not too sure of the firefox install). Hope it's not though as that might mean playing about with regedit which is a real pain, esp. for someone who isn't a techie!
