1) Assuming you have XP sp2, in IE go to Tools, Internet Options, Privacy, Sites. Then type doubleclick.com and hit Block, then type doubleclick.net and hit Block again, then Ok and OK again. You should not see cookies from either of those sites again as IE will block them outright. This will also delete the cookies from those sites that may be there already. Make sure that you spell the sites correctly.
2) Mouse Issue: I suspect this is not connected with the cookies. Links always open with one complete click however programs can be set to open with one or two clicks, i.e., a double click. Open My Computer, Tools, Folder Options, and under the General Tab make sure the "Double-click to open an item" is selected and hit OK. |
