dirtyepic Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 this would be set by a cookie instead of a regentry. you might be able to find the cookie and copy it to the right directory during install, but i have no idea if it would work.

SiMoNsAyS Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 (edited) don't know anything about this but i can guess... it's a inet cookie that stores itself on the temporaly inet files and if it can be done... maybe it can be done but as you could imagine it would be quiiite difficult...can someone correct me?edit: @dirtyepic you've been faster Edited August 17, 2004 by SiMoNsAyS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtyepic Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 ;][assuming IE]in the options, hit delete files (include offline files) and delete cookies.go to www.google.comset your preferences and savelook in "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\"for "Cookie:administrator@google.ca/"(will vary depending on username and country)[assuming Firefox]you should be able to export the individual cookie from the cookie manager (options, privacy?, cookies - don't have it installed right now sorry)same might work w/ mozilla.now how to copy that cookie to the right directory during your uA install is a little over my head.

SiMoNsAyS Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 what about a sfx rar file that it's self-extracting "Cookie:administrator@google.ca" to "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\". it must be done at the final stage of installation or the Administrator account will be renamed to YourDomain.Administrator... another time it's just an idea...

dirtyepic Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 good idea, but one prob with that is while it works great for the administrator, it's not so good for any other usernames. i suppose it would work if you knew for a fact that the usernames are going to be exactly the same on every install you do. you'd have to get a cookie file then for each separate account due to the username being in the filename, but it should work. if you're like me and the Administrator acct is the only one on your computer, then i don't think there's a problem. otherwise IMHO the complete loss of flexibility in order to save a couple clicks just isn't worth it.default user won't work either because of the user in the filename. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtyepic Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 whaaaa? forget everything i've said. looks like IE's cache isn't that simple at all. it's a database called Content.IE5 that contains several randomly named directories and an index. the file list is generated on the fly so it looks like a normal dir to the user.to see what i'm talking about try this:open a cmd windowcd C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Filesdir /acd content.ie5dir /a even if you could copy the file in there somehow it still wouldn't be in the index.so...use firefox.

It also keeps a cookie index, and without the cookie being indexed, there's a chance that IE won't read it if it's just copied into the directory.

dirtyepic Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 you could try exporting your cookie(s) to a txt, then import once you've installed. i don't know if you can do this silently.. maybe if IE has a cmd line option or something.
