cannot logoff from wincustomize
Monday, November 11, 2002 by feline | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
connecting to wincustomize using IE6, when i click the red:
cmd=logoff
button at the top of the page, after the page reloads i am still logged in. i have deleted the wincustomize cookie and reloaded the page, but this makes no difference.
it has been like this for a few days now.

c:\documents and settings\colin\cookies\
i am logged into a win2k machine with a username of "colin"

That should fix the problem. The problem is that I need to change the way cookies are saved. They were being saved like [username]@www.wincustomize[1].txt now they are saving like [username]@wincustomize{1].txt. So because of this it was possible to have two wincustomize cookie files which would cause some things to not work properly.
That link above deletes both cookies so from then on you should only have one cookie file and all should be well.
Cookies are found in any of these three places:
c:\documents and settings\colin\cookies\
c:\documents and settings\colin\local settings\temp
c:\documents and settings\colin\local settings\temporary internet files

Why do you want to logoff from WC?
Fuzzy Logic *puzzled*
This is my home, I don't want to be logged off, I want to be hard wired...

thanks for that T-Man. the interesting thing is that it said it found and deleted 4 cookies *shrug*
fuzzy, i only want to log off when i am leaving my computer
after all, i dont want anyone else using my login, and getting all the words spelled correctly. it would worry Jafo so much he wouldnt be up to much else

Each file can contain multiple cookies. WinCustomize uses about 4 different cookies.
