Can you show us how you're trying to create the cookie? And does it indeed work if you make IE the default browser? – Arjan Jun 6 '10 at 14:37

Maybe it's not about what browser is the default? Internet Explorer requires a domain extension to save cookies, and if you're using localhost, it won't save them. Try to make some test domain name like mytestdomain.local and set apache up so that it will respond to it.

Then make a hosts file entry that will point mytestdomain.local to 127.0.0.1 and it should work.
