What would be the best way to do these two things on Vista? I know there is a registry key i believe but there is also the folder path so any ideas or suggestions would be great :)
From what i have found Registry seems to be the preffered method.
Kk i have the Firefox History file deleted fine and thats working all good :)
Now just IE cookies!
This is Vista, so that makes it a little harder for me since I don't use it.
Are cookie files stored in the same place in Vista as they are on 98/2000/XP, etc? (For me it is: C:\Documents and Settings\danny.guitar\Cookies)
Also, if you don't mind, what are you using to clear the FF history?
For the FF history i am just using a Registry class of mine and then getting the path stored in the registry and then i just Kill the History.Dat file and it worked :)
Though second time around i am getting runtime error 70 -.-
As for IE cookies i wouldn't know i am new to Vista myself so i am still trying to find them. But it appears a lot of this stuff is in C:\Users\Paul\AppData\.....
The IE cookies are stored in a special folder so it looks like ill need to use API like SHGetSpecialFolderPath() to do this.
Actually i believe the IE files are physically on the HD here...
C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies
You may also want to have a look at :
C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies\Low
The reason I mention this, is because if your IE 7 's Protected Mode feature is on, the data gets saved there. If it is not, the cookie info gets stored in :
C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies
It's worth a look ;)
Thanks i'll take a look at that now!
