Yes! Cookies can be good, especially with milk!

That's a hidden file you need to check view settings of folder options.

Will double check, but I think I have hidden files showing--and it's still not there.

You probably already checked (as in hidden files) but check to make sure system files are also viewable.

There are tricky ways that files can be hidden through attributes not normally seen but can be accessed via the registry. These are almost wholly files attributed to virus activity though, not cookies themselves.

It could also be that the tool you are using is removing the cookie automatically and you are looking at the report after the fact...and now they are gone and that's why you cannot see them.
