Using FSO would work unless the user is running a script stopper program,
like those in certain A-V or software firewalls. Those often block using New
or CreateObject so they would block creation of an FSO object.

If whatever language you're using has intrinsic file operations you might be
better of using those instead of a scripting solution to write out a text
file. An alternate would be storing your "cookie" information in the
registry.

What do you think about just using the FileSystemObject to just write the
information to a .txt file and then retreive it? The point behind the
cookie
is to give my users some control over the content displayed.
