    Lightbulb Delete all cookies

    Is there a code that delete all the users cookies in one time

    (like the reecycle bin : SHEmptyRecycleBin(NULL, "", 0))

    because the path is different on every windows


    thnx in advance (i searched already in wininet.h , but dindt found something)

    There's probably some registry key which will tell you where the current users' cookies are stored.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Code:
    	LPTSTR strCookiesPath;
    
    	// get the coockies folder
    	strCookiesPath = SHGetFolderPath(NULL, CSIDL_COOKIES, 
                                      NULL, SHGFP_TYPE_CURRENT, MAX_PATH);	
    	MessageBox(NULL, strCookiesPath , "Path", MB_OK );
    gives error while application runs

    SHGetFolderPath is deprecated, but this works using LCC. For whatever reason the header shlobj.h for MinGW that I have doesn't have SHGFP_TYPE_CURRENT defined, so that's kind of interesting.

    Code:
    #include <windows.h>
    #include <shlobj.h>
    
    int main(void)
    {
    	char strCookiesPath[MAX_PATH];
    
    	SHGetFolderPath(NULL, CSIDL_COOKIES, NULL, SHGFP_TYPE_CURRENT,strCookiesPath);
    	MessageBox(NULL, strCookiesPath, "Path", MB_OK );
    	
    	return 0;
    }

    For portability on Win9x, I use this on my apps:
    Code:
    int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nShowCmd)
    {
    	LPITEMIDLIST lpidl;
    	char pszPath[MAX_PATH];
    	if (SUCCEEDED(SHGetSpecialFolderLocation(NULL, CSIDL_COOKIES, &lpidl))) {
    		SHGetPathFromIDList(lpidl, pszPath);
    		MessageBox(NULL, pszPath, "My Cookie jar", MB_OK);
    		CoTaskMemFree(lpidl);
    	}
    	return 0;
    }
