where are cookies written?

I need to get the computer name that the user's browser is on (intranet app
here). We don't want Netbios turned on. So, when the user logs in, the
network engineers have a file written onto the user's machine. Then, my .NET
app is going to read from that text file -- ON THE USER'S MACHINE. How to
do it... I'm thinking the only way is: Have the text file written to the
place that .NET cookies are written to. Then I'll be able to access it like
reading a cookie.

Does this sound like a good idea? If so, I assume the location only
c:\documents and settings\chucki e\cookies
where chuckie is the name of the user?

Hi, Jason Shohet,

If it is an intranet application why don't you consider using the IP address
of the clients? Is there a difference if you have the machine name or if you
have the user's IP Address (or at least one of the IP addresses that are
configured on the machine)?

Greetings
Martin

Hi all, Anyone know of any special issues with storing cookies with ASP? I'm trying this with two browsers: One is IE 6.0 with cookies set to 'prompt'. This has been working properly as any new site I goto seems to prompt me to store their cookie. The other is Pocket IE on Pocket PC 2002, with the cookies set to 'enabled'. My problem is that the cookies dont seem to be being written with my ASP. I dont get the prompt to store...

Hi. I have an ASP (3.0, not .NET) app that writes cookies with hyphens and spaces in the names and values. If I had the control over the apps that will be looking for these cookies, I would eliminate the special characters, but as it is, I do not have that luxury. When I write the cookies, they seem okay in IE, but in Firefox, they are strange. For example, the cookie name is US-NONUS, but in Firefox it looks like US%2DNONUS. For a...

I can't find a cookie that my code is writing. The behavior of my webpages indicates that the cookie IS being written SOMEPLACE. However, I can't find it. My client does not want the code going into production unless they can actually see where the cookie is being written. They are concerned that the cookie may stay around after they leave the screen and grant authorization to other users to get to web pages that they are now allowed...

Hello, I have been trying to get cookies to work. It seems I can get this cookie to be persistant in the browser but I want to write it to my Cookies Folder. I have tried many variations but when I look in the folder there is nothing there from my Domain. This is a simlified version but, I have tried many things. What am I missing? Yes I allow all cookies Thanks Mike

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
