However, I noticed that IE6 has cookies quietly turned off by default. It even drove me nuts for a little while when all my scripts stopped working. This was becasue it even disables session cookies unless you take the trouble to specify otherwise.

I don't know what you're getting at. The percentage of surfers with cookies must be around 90% based on my own traffic estimates -- but it remains to be said that most non-adult websites on the net won't even load now without cookies (and demand the surfer to turn them on) so I think the momentum is for cookies to remain on at all times. Anyone with a few $$$ could probably get sorts of cookie stats info at
http://www.statsmarket.com/ from WSS.
Can you explain this for me please? "I noticed that IE6 has cookies
quietly turned off by default." Are you saying that MSIE6 has different switches for turning on and off session cookies and non-session cookies? Maybe this is the source of some headache that I have been having w/ one of my scripts. Thanks.
