I realize that it is sometimes necessary to have cookies on your computer for fast connections, saved user id's, etc, but will having to many on your computer cause problems, and if so, and a person does not want to delete them all, is there any other way but to go into the cookies folder and delete them manually.

Delete them manually. You can hold down the ctrl key to click more than one at a time.
The number of cookies has unimportant. ONE cookie from a site that is out to spam or spyware you will cause problems. 1,000 from sites that will not spam you is fine. It is where the cookie is from, not the number, that is the issue.
What I have done is make a second "cookies" folder and copied into it the dozen or so cookies I need for site where I want to store the password. Then I can clear the real cookies site, and then just copy that handful back into it. Easier than trying to hunt and pick through them all.

you can delete the cookies manually.Go to the Internet option by clicking on Tools tab .Under temporary internet files you will find Settings tab, click on it,a Settings window will appear then click on View Files tab you will find the temporary files and cookies there. Now you can delete one by one manually. Hope you are not confused with my instructions! Good Luck!

there is an option on the internet browser where you can delete them all
i delete them once in two weeks to keep bad cookies out
yes it's annoying to re-enter usernames again...but it saves the trouble of having spywares and such infecting your computer
there's a software that lets you keep the cookies you want, but i wouldn't recommend it as most of them require you to pay and they may actually be spywares themselves
