Refining the question... I've since learned that cookies are in the 
cookies folder (surprise!) and what's in the Temporary Internet 
Files folder is only a pointer to the actual cookie. So now the 
question is, does a web site recognize a cookie if it's in the 
Cookies folder but there's no "pointer" to it in the Temp Internet 
Files? Seems like I can actually test that myself... I'll let me 
know!
