With sounds enabled you get a crunch when a cookie 
lands on your hard disk, and a burp after every 5th
cookie.

Cookie Muncher allows cookies to be saved to your disk
by the browser, this stops browser error messages if you 
simply disable cookies. Cookie Muncher then deletes the
cookie within half a second of its arrival.

Browse in peace knowing that your page visits are known
only by you.

PLEASE READ THIS..... FAQ

I get many questions asking about the cookies in the
temporary internet files folder. These are NOT cookies.
They are pointers to the cookies in the cookies folder.
Similer to shortcuts. Cookies are deleted by cookie muncher.
They do nothing once the cookie has been deleted and will
be removed by normal cache cleanup operations.

If CM dosen't run at startup it is more that likely that 
you have changed the program location since its first run.
To fix this...
1. Run CM
2. Un-check "Load at Startup"
3. Exit CM.
4. Run CM and check the "Load at Startup" option.
5. If this still fails add a shortcut to CM in your
   Start Menu\Start up folder. 
   
   
Version 2.2 adds the ability to support customized IE window Titles.
There are many IE customizers on the web and I get several email
saying that CM has stopped working. This has always been due to
the IE window caption being changed. CM (1.0 .. 2.1) required that
IE's window text was "Internet Explorer", CM looked for this text
to "know" when IE was running and start munching cookies.

With this option it should now be possible to use CM with any browser
that uses the IE engine. Just set the IE Title menu option to the
title that appears on the browsers main window.
