1. Description
--------------
This is an utility for delete cookies for the most usual browsers.
This program detects the cookies files for the four most common browsers
(Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Netscape and Opera) and delete them with a
simple click. The program have the option of preserve some cookies from
deletion (only for IE). Useful for people who cares about his privacy
without the need of disable the cookies feature (a lot of pages needs
it to work properly).
See Changes.txt for changes history.
If you have any suggestion, you find a bug, etc., send me an e-mail.
2. Legal stuff
--------------
This program is freeware, but only for private use (not commercial).
For commercial use or inclusion in distributions made for profit
(CD's, ...) contact with the author for authorization. You can
redistribute it for free, whenever you use the original package. If you
don't have an original package, you can find it at http://go.to/ampsoft
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but
WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY. The author declines responsibility for any
possible damage due to the use of this program.
3. Installation
---------------
The program is distributed in two formats:
Installer: Execute the .EXE file and follow the instructions of the
install windows.
ZIP file: Simply extract the program's files to the directory where you
want to install them, and make a shortcut to the executable file.
4. Usage notes
--------------
- If the program don't autodetect some browser and you have installed
it, select the appropriate folder and the program will search for
cookies files in it. To preserve the new folder for the future, press
the Save Configuration button.
- If you have Opera installed but not Netscape, you will notice that
Opera is detected also as Netscape. This is because Opera identifies
himself as a Netscape browser too.
- The Create Desktop Icon button creates a shortcut in your Desktop to
allow you delete the cookies files directly without show the main
window. The Create Start Menu Icon button creates a normal shortcut to
the program in the Start Menu.
- If some browsers are detected, but no cookies files are found, it
probably means that the cookies had been deleted previously.
- The Internet Explorer Cookies folder may change for each Window user
(usually, Windows 9x/Me use a common folder and Windows NT/2000/XP use
a separate folder for each user). In that case, Cookie Monster only
delete cookies for the current user. On the other hand, the program
detect the cookies files for every user in Netscape and Mozilla (Opera
uses a single cookie file).
- Due to the fact that Netscape, Mozilla and Opera use a single file
for all cookies, the Preserve Cookies option preserves all cookies
for each user in Netscape and Mozilla, and all the cookies in Opera.
