Delete cookie

Hi,

Does anyone know of an effective way to delete cookies?

I have been using this:

<code>
class Cookie
    def kill (dir= \
                  "C:\\Documents and Settings\\"+ENV['USERNAME']+"\
\Local Settings\\Temporary Internet Files")
    require 'fileutils'
    FileUtils.rm_rf dir
   end
</code>

But doesn't seem to always work

What are the error messages you get, if any?

Remember, if a file is in use, you cannot delete it (OS level lock), and
it may be possible that Internet Explorer is still running.

Another way to accomplish what you could be the win32ole library, to use
IE to delete the cookies.
