If I get what you're trying to do correctly, then this cannot be done - cookies are issued on a per user basis and contain information about that user and the device being used so that the site can "remember" that specific user.
Cookies are, as of IE 4.01, part of the Temporary Internet Files. So moving the TIF folder will change the lcoation that cookies are stored in for that user. Potentially, you could point all users to a common TIF folder on a file server, but I imagine it would get huge in no time, since, if you did this, each site would issue at least one cookie per user.
If you're trying to cut down on the number of cookies stored, you could just limit the number of days pages are kept in history, and set a scheduled batch file to clear out the TIF's on a regular basis.
I hope this helps
