In a PC (OS=WMe) with a User (password) Desktop, are Cookies, Temporary Internet Files, and History found in a different location than where these items would normally be if there were no User profile establlished?
Trying to run the following DOS routine:
smartdrv
deltree cookies
deltree tempor~1
deltree history
Not sure whether to run this from C:\Windows, or whether the routine should be run from C:\WIndows with some kind of subfolder.
Any clues?
Thanks for the help.

I've not got any experience of ME, it could be that they are in the documents and settings folder under the username as they are in 2000 and XP.
I'll move the thread over the ME forum as this is a very OS specific question :)

Hi FZWG - from C:\Windows> There are some ready made batch files here (http://www.thegorx.net/Windows/Help/Internet.htm) that you might like.

Thank you for the goodies.
Need to 'absorb' the info to make sure that I'm doing this correctly.
Guess this would come in handy when you have folks that have no clue they need to clean up the caches regularly??
(Deleted some 60MB of Temporary Internet Files+Cookies+History out of someone's PC!!)

Yep, saves your time if you are on a set monthly contracted rate or worse (helping friends :p).
