    I was having a problem with you tube and following advice I got to clear temporary internet files I think I cleared cookies that keep you logged in, every site I go into is asking me to log in anyone know what I can do? I have restored the computer to a different time in system restore but that didn't work

    System restore only restores system files, it doesn't have a snapshot of your entire PC.

    If you clear session cookies, then they're gone for good.
    You must login to every site again.
    Some sites have checkboxes to say "stay logged in" or the like.
    They will set the cookie expiry time to sometime in the far future,
    so you won't need to repeatedly login.
    You should only do that for computers you trust, and not computers shared by others eg. work, college computers.

    Other programs like "CCleaner" will delete your cookies too.
