Ah, back to rewriting SuperPrivacy for OS X so that it's machine and
browser independent, and suddenly I realized that I have not been
able to locate the actual cookie file(s) for Microsoft Internet
Explorer (5.2.x) anywhere on the drive. I've even done a string
search on all the files for some of the embedded text in the cookies
(junk like 2AGhsdi45JWvd) to try to find them and still no luck. The
closest thing I've found is the cookies.cfm file in the bundle (and
removing that removes the cookies preferences pane from Explorer's
preferences). It's getting frustrating after a few hours of
searching...
So, my question today: does anyone know where Explorer 5.x for OS X
actually stores it's cookies? I want to be able to toss my cookies
upon demand <grins at the bad pun>
I can't answer your question directly but IE has always camouflaged
cookies by storing them in the Internet prefs file (pre-OS X). This
makes it virtually impossible to simply find a cookie file and delete
it unless you are prepared to lose other valuable info and settings
that have nothing to do with IE. Hopefully this has changed in OS X.
