[RESOLVED] How to list and selectively delete cookies

[camoore]

My IE6 cookies are stored in a Windows system folder (C:\Windows\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files)

I would like to list them in a File List Box, then selectively delete some of them using the File System Object, or similar.

However VB6 does not appear to recognise cookies as files and therefore does not enter them into a file list box when the Filex.Path string is nonetheless correctly specified.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you, Dilettante, for that most useful pointer. The program appears very comprehensive and will serve my purpose well.

However I remain rather puzzled why VB6 seems not to recognise files in the Temporary Internet Files folder as files - and hence does not show them in a file list box.

It does list the cookie files contained in C:\Windows|Cookies OK, so one way or another my problem is resolved.

Perhaps they have hidden or system attribute bits turned on.

In any case there is seldom a good reason to mess with this stuff. The browser's option for deleting is normally good enough for normal purposes.
