How Can I Delete Cookie files.
????? :)

Hi,

I know its been a long time since you started this thread but I'm looking to find a solution for the similar problem. I want to delete all cookies through my VB application.

If you managed to do it, please let me know how.


Thanks

Here is a simple way

Sub Delete_Cookies()

Dim sRoot As String
Dim sCookiePath As String

On Error Resume Next

sRoot = Environ("USERPROFILE")

If Len(sRoot) = 0 Then Exit Sub

If Right$(sRoot, 1) <> "\" Then sRoot = sRoot & "\"

sCookiePath = sRoot & "Cookies\"

Kill (sCookiePath & "*.*")

End Sub

Cheers

Hi Shasur,

Thanks for your reply. This partly solves my problem. Would you know how to delete the cookies received from a server during an active connection, rather then deleting all of the cookies.

For example if i'm browsing "abc.com" through a webbrowser component in visual basic. I want the application to delete all cookies received from the "abc.com" server straight after I close the session or navigate the browser to a different URL.

I know it sounds complex but I'm sure there's a way to catch the cookies dropped during a current session. I just cant find it :(


Thanks

u just transform this line

Kill (sCookiePath & "*.*")

to this:

Kill (sCookiePath & user & "@abc.com[1].txt"

where "user" find a module that finds the name of the computer u r on.
