    That is caused by the Yahoo cookies being deleted when you close the browser or do some type of maintenance or you have a bad cookie file.

    For IE - "tools ↬ internet options ↬ browsing history ↬ settings ↬ view files"

    Cookies start with "cookie..."

    "Tools ↬ internet options ↬ privacy" controls when IE should save cookies.

    For Firefox - tools ↬ options ↬ privacy

    Then depending on what the drop down menu displays...

    "Never remember history" - there are no cookies

    "Custom settings" - click on show cookies

    "Remember history" - click on remove individual cookies (this just shows them unless you specifically delete from the list)

    Also make sure you do not have an anti spyware program that is deleting the cookies.
