GEOSoft Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 The cookies folder is hidden by default so you will have to enable "Show Hidden Files and Folders" to get the exact path. PS.

goldenix Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 (edited) Show hidden files & folders was already enabled now I enabled to show also superhidden & I still see only 4 folders & 0 cookies. the location of the cookie is : C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Cookie:administrator@email.su/ how can I delete it? PS: yes im using admin acc & win xp sp3 80 MB, installer edition, been using it for last 5,7 years, nev er updated it...with disabled firewall...which is also has a backup ghost image copy & being restored from it like every month or so. I dont think ur business card would be necessary. cuz during the time Iv e had only 1 virus infection since then I learned to run new executables in a sandbox.

GEOSoft Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 In XP the default location for Cookies is C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Cookies\ and that's the one you want. You have to enable System files/folders to view it but you should still be able to delete them although you may have to use FileSetAttrib() to do it. George Question about decompiling code?

GEOSoft Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 as I recall those are simply session cookies and don't mean a thing although I have also seen them be shortcuts to the same ones in the cookies folder. You know, in IE you can eliminate a lot of the problem by setting IE to delete temp internet files when exiting. Unless you are on dialup you don't need to cache web pages.

Chimaera Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Some of the files and cookies in the Temp folder are there whilst things are working so its not that easy to clear the whole lot as i recall Is it really that necessary to remove all? If Ive just helped you ... miracles do happen.

GEOSoft Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 It doesn't delete cookies, just the Temporary Internet Files. Internet Options >> Advanced >> Under "Security" group locate and check "Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed".Also, If you are trying to get rid of all the cookies in the Cookies folder you can do it easier than using an array to loop through the files.$sCookies_Fldr = @UserProfileDir & "\Cookies\" FileSetAttrib($sCookies_Fldr, -SHR, 1) If DirRemove($sCookiesFldr, 1) Then DirCreate($sCookies_Fldr) FileSetAttrib($sCookies_Fldr, +SH) Else FileSetAttrib($sCookies_Fldr, +SH) MsgBox(4096, "Error", "There was a problem deleting the folder " & $sCookies_Fldr) EndIf George Question about decompiling code?
