- Netscape, Mozilla and Opera) and delete them with a simple click. The

- 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 tips
- -------------
-
- - If the program don't autodetect some browser and you have installed
- it, select the appropriate directory and the program will search for
- cookies files in the new directory. To preserve the new directory
- 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 also as a Netscape browser.
-
- - 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
- means that the cookies had been deleted previously.
-
- - The Internet Explorer Cookies directory may change for each Window
- user. In that case, Cookie Monster only delete cookies for the current
- user. On the other hand, it 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.
