Yeah...

in your batch file:


Code:

del /f /q %HOMEPATH%\cookies\*.*


/f been 'force' and /q been 'quiet'. With the del it would prompt for a y/n answer from the user. This suppreses that output. You can take out the switch "/q" if you like though Wink

It returns path not found, I added a 'pause' under it to see what message is given.

Windows likes to protect the cookies folder itself and any attempt to do anything with it, such as delete files inside. No probs....

Put it in the cookies folder, and then create a shortcut on your desktop to it.

you could check in the inside of the folder if its empty after you run the batch
because you didnt delete the directory.
(does the directory even exist?)
also, try manually deleting stuffs in the temp folder:
"%HOMEPATH\Local Settings\Temp"
delete .tmp files and stuff you downloaded
NOTHING ELSE!
i once found some porn in there....>_>
