I am finding that WindowsXP is allowing 20 cookies (plus other stuff ) a day

so as to
keep the computor cleen. Also interested in how much it would cost for
firewalls to bring
WindowsXP back to the protective level of Netscape 7.1.

(Yes I know it is not antenna related, unless you
need a computor to read antenna postings or use WindowsXP for antenna
software!)

I assume you've downloaded the free Service Pack 2 for Windows XP. It
adds all kinds of security features.
On Windows XP, you can go into the Control Panel to "Windows Firewall"
and activate it, if it is not already activated.
You can also go into Internet Explorer, to Tools, to Internet Options,
to Privacy, and increase your security to hold most, if not all,
Cookies in check.
