- 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).
-

-
- If you have any suggestion, you find a bug, etc., send me an e-mail.

- 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.
