Anyway, here's my problem.

There are some affiliate programs that when I follow my own link I see my affiliate ID on the page.

Recently I upgraded to IE7 and when I follow the link... no affiliate ID. And which means I'm not getting credit for the sale.

I've tracked down the reason. On IE7 when I go to Tools > Internet Options > Privacy > Sites; I get a list of domains who's cookies have been blocked. Many of the domains are those of my affiliates. (IE6 does not have this option)

Now if those domains are cookie blocked on my system, then they can be blocked on my visitor's system. In other words, I may not be getting credit for sales made by some of my visitors using IE7.

Does anyone know a solution?

Yes, IE6 has always had that option. Same path, tools>internet options>privacy>sites. There you can place a list of sites the same way.
