HowTo Clean IE7 data by script

Hello,

I just found what I was looking for a long a time. I both use Firefox and IE7 browsers. Private data cleanup is quite easy with firefox and can be automated. But, for Internet Explorer, I had to navigate through different menus (Tools/Delete History/Delete all, check the addin box and click Ok then…). Petri wrote a nice article on his website explaining how to automate this by either a script or a shortcut.

Here is my batch file :

@ECHO OFF
RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 1
RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 2
RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 8
RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 9
RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 16
RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 32
RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 255
RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 4351
