Is there any way to name your site's cookie file?

For instance for a virtual directory called 'test', if the cookie name/value
pairs are specified to have a path of 'test', for the user e.g. 'fred', the
cookie file is always created as 'fred@t...'.

Is it possible to have any control over the name of this cookie file? Would
it be possible at all to e.g. specify it to be called
'fred@T...'?

Yes, rename your virtual directory to:

I don't think so.

How cookies are stored depends on the browser in question. The fact that you
are referring to  'fred@t...' indicates to me that you're testing your
application with Internet Explorer. Try using a different browser to see
what happens to your cookies...

Also, being able to "name" a cookie would probably be a security risk - I
could name a cookie in such a way that it overrides a cookie that has been
set by a different site (fred@c... for example). Since we are talking
about file-system manipulation here, it is best that the browser controls
this since it is aware of all cookies on the system in question.
