I know there are thousands of these and it's really simple to just clean it up in IE, but for business reasons, I need an actual application that can run off a CD that will find the users' cache and temp internet file/cookies folders from the registry and delete everything in them, basically clear their cache. It's a one-button app and should be simple to program in VB. It'd be nice to give the user checkboxes to delete either cookies, images, files, and also an option to run everytime windows starts. It should be compatible with Win9X, 2K, and XP. Once the program is completed, I would like to own the rights to it.

I can pay $50, I'm sure there is some CS student out there that would like to give it a try. If you are interested, let me know what kind of experience you have/portfolio, and I'll send more details.


Thanks all

Oh, and do you know the locations of the all the caches? I just got VS.NET and am eager to play with it.

Well, sure if you want to give it a shot, I don't need it for another week, so that's the time frame. I don't know the location of the registery stuff, I'm no programmer :).

Remeber though, I can only give the money if the program is well executed, but if you want to give it a try and you think you'll learn something...be my guest.

Thanks

I'd probably give you the program if it wasn't too much effort...

I'll have to look up the locations later...if I can't find them, I'll let you know. I'm not much of a programmer yet. :)

Ya know, this could be easily done with separate batch file for Windows 9X and 2000/XP. The cache files are pretty much in the same location on all systems with the same OS installed.

Yeah, but I want it as a standalone progam that looks like a windows app.
