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.

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

i get this warnings

Code:

---

warning C4047: 'function' : 'LPSTR' differs in levels of indirection from 'int'
warning C4024: 'SHGetFolderPathA' : different types for formal and actual parameter 5
warning C4047: '=' : 'LPTSTR' differs in levels of indirection from 'HRESULT'

---

Code:

---

        LPTSTR strCookiesPath;

        // get the coockies folder
        strCookiesPath = (LPTSTR)SHGetFolderPath(NULL, CSIDL_COOKIES,
                                  NULL, SHGFP_TYPE_CURRENT, MAX_PATH);       
        MessageBox(NULL, strCookiesPath , "Path", MB_OK );

doesnt make any different , same warnings , still crashing at that point

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;
}

thnx:)
