Thanks Bryan, Stuart and John for the information. I was initially sort of wondering what that 'value ="dDwtNjIxMjI0NzQ...' was now I am very curious. If it doesn't have a reason and is more of a problem that it is worth why is it there? Is MS really spying on us storing encrypted data in our browsers that work like cookies? Does the data block just hold state variables or can it hold code? Do I sound paranoid?...
