ieaction - Delete ALL cookies in Internet Explorer

[tradertt]

Is there a line of coding to do it?

Thank you

Anyone ?

It depends on where the folder is, but cookies are all .txt files, I think. To delete the temporary cookies on my particular machine with the default way it is set up:

FileDelete("C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\*.txt")

I did find this folder though:

C:\WINDOWS\Temp\Cookies

ah you know in Internet explorer there is a function to Delete Cookies?

If the window is invisible, can the script still be able to click that button ?

Guys other than deleting it directly from the Temp folder, is there a way to make it go to Tools, Internet Options and Delete Cookies if the window is hidden?

Seriously, No .. The button will not be clickable if the window is hidden or do not exists.

I would say that it would be easier to just delete the cookie files(I also found some cookies in "C:\Documents and Settings\FreeFry\Cookies") rather than having to automate the iexplorer window..

Yeah, FreeFry has the right approach, there is a hidden folder to the permanent cookies here:

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Cookies

but it would be best - if it is the currently-logged-on user whose cookies you are targetting, to use this code to get the folder name, and then just delete everything in it:

$StaleCookies = @UserProfileDir & "\Cookies"
FileDelete($StaleCookies & "\*.*")

Yes, ofcourse.
