Telling IE to delete cookies/form data/temp files ? Paul 6/16/2007 2:18:00 PM Hello everyone, I was wondering whether or not I can use a script to tell "internet explorer" (we have Windows Vista) to delete either its cookies, its form data, or its temporary files. If so, where could I get a description of the "objects" and "methods" that are used to do this ? It would be great if I could, then I can put it into task scheduler. I'm new to all of this and am thinking about learning scripting. I'm intrigued at the idea of being able to automate certain tasks. Thanks for your time and attention, Paul

"Marty List" <usenet[ at ]optimumx.com> 6/17/2007 12:53:21 AM It's not too hard to delete the cookies, temporary internet files, etc. You could script it or use my freeware utility IECACHE.EXE (http://www.optimumx.com/download/). But these files are stored individually for each user profile, so the hard part is deleting it for multiple users. For example. if you run this from the Task Scheduler, will it run as the user you want to clean up, or do you want to clean up the files for multiple users? Explain more about how you want to run this, and how often. "Paul" <Paul[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:A29BFD15-A809-495B-B676-ECFF8A17CBAF[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: Telling IE to delete cookies/form data/temp files ? Paul 6/17/2007 8:32:00 AM Hello Marty, Thanks for replying. I will most likely be running this for a single user on a periodic basis, maybe biweekly. It's for a home computer. I'd like to automate this task so that the user (who knows little about computers) doesn't have to bother with it. If scripting proves promising, there are other tasks that I would like to automate.
