Swiftor Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Hi All, I've been trying to write a small script to remove all Internet Explorer cookies, but I'm apparently having some trouble. I wasn't exactly sure which directory held all of the cookies because there are so many, but in my code below I'm positive that it's the second element in the array (at least for windows 7). I seem to be having trouble deleting the files in there though.. it just doesn't work. Here's my code thus far: #include <Array.au3> #include <File.au3> Local $aDirectories[6] $aDirectories[0] = @UserProfileDir&"\Cookies" $aDirectories[1] = @UserProfileDir&"\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files" $aDirectories[2] = @UserProfileDir&"\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files" $aDirectories[3] = @AppDataDir&"\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files" $aDirectories[4] = @AppDataDir&"\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies\Low" $aDirectories[5] = @AppDataDir&"\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies\Low\Temporary Internet Files" For $Directory in $aDirectories If FileExists($Directory) Then $FileList=_FileListToArray($Directory, "*") For $i = 0 To UBound($FileList) - 1 $File = $Directory & "\" & $FileList[$i] If FileExists($File) Then FileDelete($File) EndIf Next EndIf Next Help?

Swiftor Posted August 23, 2011 Author Posted August 23, 2011 "it just doesn't work" is not offering much helpful info is it.How about what about it dosent work, what error you receive etc...It's not deleting the files in the directories. I'm not getting any error message.. just the files aren't getting deleted.

guinness Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Whoops!

Swiftor Posted August 24, 2011 Author Posted August 24, 2011 Is it because of lack of permissions or something, because I'm having trouble deleting anything out of the directories.
rcmaehl Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) You haven't -RASHOT'd the files. See FileSetAttrib in the Man pages. I had this problem too but I fixed it in my script (linky).

rcmaehl Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 I'm getting 500 errors when trying to go thereO_o You sure. Can you post the script here and let me try it? My UDFs are generally for me.

AdmiralAlkex Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 @SwiftorWhat about ClearMyTracksByProcess? That would be simpler to use if it deletes the files you're concerned with. .Some of my scripts: ShiftER, Codec-Control, Resolution switcher for HTC ShiftSome of my UDFs: SDL UDF, SetDefaultDllDirectories, Converting GDI+ Bitmap/Image to SDL Surface
