I have XP/Pro SP2 on my workstation. My used name (David) has
administrative priviledges.
One of my backups is a data only backup onto a USB drive using a DOS
BATCH file & XCOPY
I have tried to restrict all but desireable cookies from invading my
workstation. I've changed the Internet Options (Control Panel) and
the cookie rules in the various browsers I use. Apparently I've been
successful here. However, there seems to be one place I can not stop
cookies & temp internet files from being saved on my workstation. I'm
not sure, but its possible they are arriving through the use of
various other applications that insist on using IE for internet
access.
This is where the cookies are being saved (My user name is David):
C:\Documents and Settings\David\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files
I have tried everything I can think of by adjusting the setup in
various appplications without success. Since I can't stop the
cookies, my thought is that I might be able to automate their
deletion. As I said, my data backup uses a DOS batch file and XCOPY.
I have thought of inserting a DOS DELETE command into that batch file
to delete the contents of the above directory. I've tried this
without success. With the appropriate delete command, the batch file
generates no error messages. However, XP/Pro apparently ignores the
delete command because the temp internet files & cookies don't get
deleted.
I can use Windows Explorer and manually delete the stuff. But, I
can't figure out how to do it automatically.
Can anyone offer any suggestions?
