Hi all,
I have written a cd rom which will use the file i/o xtra to place a cookie on the users computer to remember preferences etc. I was thinking the best place to put this would be the cookies directory of the browser. Is this my best bet?
Also, once I have decided where to put it., How do I address the cookie so its not too specific. Ie if the user uses Win95, 98, nt, xp, etc, the cookies directory is likely to be different, and then theres the issue of on which drive letter the system is located. Then there are the mac users as well.

Is there a way to address the system and tell it to tell me which directory the browser cookies to?

can anyone suggest any method for placing a cookie in an accessable spot.

thanks in advance
