Try deleting the cookies in safe mode. I doubt they'll come back if deleted in safe mode. To get to safe mode, tap the F8 key while your PC is starting up.

Also, as i recall, you might try to delete the cookies by shutting down explorer with task manager. Make sure you are administrator or have admin authority and open the command prompt b4 doing this so you can get access to the folder where the cookies are stored. navigate to the folder where the cookies are and delete them. I think the syntax is still "del" in the version of dos in xp.
