IE7 Protected mode and InternetOpenURL

[Carat05]

Hi,

I have a website with a forum, working with cookie. I made an application (c++ - vs2008) to connect to my website and display an event when a new post appear on the forum.

For that, I'm using the WININET functions:
InternetOpenUrl.

My problem is:

IE7 is working in protected-mode under vista, it means that the cookie is written in
\UserProfil\Cookie\Low\ directory

My app doesn't work in protected-mode, it means that the cookie is written in
\UserProfil\Cookie\ directory.

I want my app to access the correct cookie, regarding IE7 is running in protected mode or not.

Somebody have an idea?

Thanks
