Cookie Muncher
(C) Copyright Steve Seymour
1998,1999,2000,2001
Update 26/03/01 Version 3.7
Ability to select
your own sound effects to replace
the Munch and Burp. Munch is evertime a
cookie is removed
and a Burp is every 5 cookies.
Update 29/03/01 Version 3.6
CM now uses a lower
priority thread to enable processor hungry
application more processor time.
CM should now work smoothly
even on very low spec machines.
28/03/01 - attempts to rectify Cache clearing
errors with
some versions of IE.
Whats New in version 3.5
CM now only animates when munching a cookie.
CM
no longer requires IE window captions and will work
with ALL browsers that
use the IE engine. Users that modified
IE and changed the IE windows caption
often stopped CM from
running with IE. An option in CM 2.3 gave users
the option
to add customized windows titles. This is no longer
needed.
Option to munch Opera Cookies added.
Option to munch ICQ cookies added.
ICQ cookies
are stored under the Program Files\ICQ\Atebrowser\####### folder
where
####### = your ICQ number. ICQ Cookies are stored in a
file called
"cookies.dat"
Netscape Cookies are usually stored under the
Netscape folder and are
in a file called Cookies.txt. Later versions of
Netscape store cookies
in a folder under the windows directory.
To enable the ICQ and Netscape browser option you
must set the
path to their cookies.
Internet Explorer (all browsers that use the IE
engine) store
cookies in a folder under the windows directory -
usually
C:\Windows\Cookies
CM defaults the IE path to this
location.
PLEASE READ THIS..... FAQ
I get many questions asking about the cookies in
the
temporary internet files folder. These are NOT cookies.
They are
pointers to the cookies in the cookies folder.
Similer to shortcuts. Cookies
are deleted by cookie muncher.
They do nothing once the cookie has been
deleted and will
be removed by normal cache cleanup operations, or can be
deleted
by you using windows explorer. (See Below)
******** 3 additional Menu Options added
***********
1. Clear IE Cache Cookie Shortcuts
Clicking this menu item
will now delete all cookie shortcuts from
the IE Temporary Internet Files
Cache (see above)
2. Clear IE History
Clicking this will erase the
IE History of visited sites.
3. Clear IE Cache
Clicking this will erase ALL
of the IE cache.
If CM dosen't run at startup it is most likely that
you have changed the program location since its first run.
To fix
this...
1. Run CM
2. Un-check "Load at Startup"
3. Exit CM.
4. Run
CM and check the "Load at Startup" option.
5. If this still fails add a
shortcut to CM in your
Start Menu\Start up folder.
With sounds
enabled you get a crunch when a cookie
lands on your hard disk, and a burp
after every 5th
cookie.
Cookie Muncher allows cookies to be saved to your
disk
by the browser, this stops browser error messages if you
simply
disable cookies. Cookie Muncher then deletes the
cookie within half a second
of its arrival.
Browse in peace knowing that your page visits are
known
only by you.
