Kill Cookies, History and Temp Files Freeware 1

[joegz]

There has been some recent posts about how to go about or having problems cleaning cookies, history and TIF files from IE. I ran across this freeware and perhaps this may help some of you. I haven't personally tested it out yet but I thought I would at least share the information. It appears to be for all Windows Operating Systems.

The web site says...

Empty Temp Folders (emptemp) helps you manage folders that contain temporary files, left over by other applications. It's easy to add any folder and you can empty a folder (or all folders) with one click. Also emptemp will let you list and delete cookies, history files and temporary internet files (this requires MS Internet Explorer version 5+). Emptemp also has a search function to let you find and delete temporary files outside the normal temp folders. Any program can leave behind temporary files or backup files anywhere on your harddisk. These files have file types like .tmp, .bak, .old and .log. You can add your own file types....

I have been using this software for over a week now with excellent results. I especially like the feature that allows me to 'protect' individual cookies that I don't want the program to delete.

The only criticism that I have is that the program has a maximum file list of 1000 items. So when you go to view your cache contents, you only see the first 1000 sorted items. You can delete those and see the next 1000, but it’s a pain. I believe that this is something that will be improved upon in the next revision.

Check the program options!

I did. In version 2.8.3 the maximum list size is 1000. There is no option to disable sorting.

That's true. I was thinking however on the option 'No max' that removes the 1000 items limit.
