I carefully monitor my cookies and only accept those I want.
Office help insists I set to accept cookies or it will not work. Does anyone
know a workaround? I feel this is a extremely invasive feature.
P.S. my original desire was to find out where to adjust tab settings which I
have not had need to do before.

Hi, my name's Cookie. I sell Girl Scouts. Accept the cookies and stop
being so paranoid.

Frankly I would think you would want to accept the cookies. First they
are only stored on your machine, and I believe under your user ID. So only
you or someone longed on as you would have any effect by them. The only
effect I can think of would be that if you needed additional help, you would
not need to go through all the prior steps to get were you were or maybe
better suggestions for help might be given to you based on your prior
questions.

Office Help does not care about your general cookie policy. Most likely you
are blocking a Microsoft cookie Office Help needs.
If you are using a thrid party program to select cookies to accept, look
through any list of blocked cookies for a Microsoft cookie such as msn.com.
If you are using Internet Explorer Internet Options, Privacy, Custom to
control cookies, open Internet Options, Privacy. Click on Advanced. Verify
that you are accepting first party cookies, session cookies and prompting
for third party cookies. If this is your advanced settings, click OK or
Cancel. On the privacy tab, click on Sites. Look through the list of sites
for a Microsoft sitte that you are blocking and remove the site or change to
always alow. If you have a very long list, you may want to just remove all
and just start over. IMO, you should empty the site list periodically as IE
needs to examine the list when you go a site that offers third party cookies
and many of the sites on the list are likely obsolete.

Thanks for a meaningful reply not like some other people who are in complete
disagreement with most MS XP related sites as to cookie handling.
I am set to Verify that you are accepting first party cookies, session
cookies and prompting
for third party cookies. Manually editing the cookie file is a study in
frustration as most are not recognizable to the source site and the reason I
do not accept most cookies..
What I do not understand is why Office Help is not sending first party or
session cookies which would allow my settings but NO; MS feels a need to
force me to accept ALL cookies.
