InternetGetCookie fails on Vista with IE7

[k***@gmail.com]

I have a program which uses WinInet and a call to InternetGetCookie()
to read a cookie for a particular URL. In Vista, the call to
InternetGetCookie() always fails, even though the cookie has been set
properly and is sent to the web server on subsequent requests.

I've read some reports from others that this happens when IE7 is run
in the default "low priviledge" mode. For example:

Is there any way to allow InternetGetCookie() to read cookies set for
the *same* user who is running my program??

Thanks.

I do not think so. InternetGetCookie will be following the rules set in
security policy of IE.
