clearing forms passwords and index.dat in IE 6

I am trying to programmaticall y clear the forms and passwords in internet explorer. I am well aware of how to do this (via the UI) in Internet Options and I've already accomplished programmaticall y clearing the cache and the cookies with the wininet API. Are there any API's that allow me to do this? I also notice that even though I clear my cache (via the UI OR programmaticall y) the index.dat files still hold all of my information. How do I delete or clear this file?

Thanks,

Chris

You maybe want to check the WinINET cache API. Not totally sure but I know you can do things like that with it.

Hi, Both the methods below open up a windows form called MasterForm. However, one works better than the other. Method 1 opens the form correctly but I don't have any reference to the instance of master form. Method 2 opens the form but when I right click on the Notify Icon I don't get the context menu that I should be seeing. I can interact with the main form window but I cannot interact with the NotifyIcon. Method 2 gives a object reference...

Hi folks, probably this is a question you've heard so many times but I wasn't able to find a solution to it. I'm using a shell script to create a textfile for me. It looks like #!/usr/local/bin/bash psql -c "select foo from bar;" -d database1 -t psql -c "\q" -d database1 exit 0

hi all, i am doing a project which requires me to provide a security login feature. i understand that access has a user level security feature but i could not use it coz i'm tested on my ability to use existing controls. i did the login form, then it occured to me that it would be much more convenient for users to change passwords themselves without needing the administrator to change for them.

Dear all, I've got a problem with my custom combo box. When I select an entry from it, then I get the error message: "An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException' occurred in system.windows.forms.dll Additional information: Specified argument was out of the range of valid values."

I have a couple of textboxes of TextMode=Password. When I press submit, if there is an error on the page and it is redisplayed, all the fields are there except for the Password fields. They get cleared. This is very irritating to the user who may have to fill in 10 fields and put the wrong type of date in, for example, and then have to put the Passwords again. Is there a way to prevent this?

Can anyone give me a couple pointers on safely clearing the logs? We have an extremely active environment and I am worried that even after I dump all the entries a dozen or so new ones will be created before I can call the Clear method. If this happens I am guessing that I will throw away any entries that get created between the time my dump process finishes and the time I call Clear. How can I safely clear only those entries that I know...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

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,...
