Hi all, can anyone tell me how to get rid of three cookies sitting in my temp
internet files directory? I've been able to delete all others but these -
they're from retail sites (e.g. buy fencing direct, etc.) and all have expiry
dates ways into the future.

Thanks, chrissyd.
 
I've just tried dragging them to the recycle bin and it says <cannot delete
file: Cannot read from the source file or disk>
 
Hi, is the syntax exact on the run box command? I get a message saying
<Error loading InetCpl - The specified module could not be found>. Thanks.
 
Hi, user error - I missed out <.cpl> - this has worked - excellent ! Many
thanks, chrissyd.
 
First search the Windows drive in all files and folders including hidden and system for
"InetCpl.cpl" (with quotes), it is an Internet Explorer file. If found, copy to
C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetcpl.cpl.
You may need to re-install IE if not found. But first, if IE seems fine just download
"InetCpl.cpl" from here:
http://www.uploading.com/files/ENE2OA8X/inetcpl.cpl.html
and copy it to "C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetcpl.cpl"

For information, on my WinXP SP3 system the version is 7.00.6000.16705.

Hi ju.c,

Don't the files for SP3 have '5512' as the last digits in the version
number? I believe that's an easy way to tell if someone is using the RTM
version of SP3.

For example, my Inetcpl.cpl shows version 6.0.2900.5512, lsass.exe shows
version 5.1.2600.5512, regedit.exe shows version 5.1.2600.5512...
