    You can use the following call to clear cache, cookies, passwords, and anything else. If you want to be more selective you will have to change the 255 value to something else. You should be able to find the proper values through Google...



        Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

        objShell.Run "RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 255"

    Also here are the equivalents for Chrome and Firefox:



    ' Clears the Chrome cache, passwords, cookies, etc...

    Sub ClearAllChromeStoredInfo

        Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

        

        strAppDataFolder = AQEnvironment.GetEnvironmentVariable("LocalAppData") & "\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default"

        

        Set FilesInFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strAppDataFolder).Files

        Set FoldersInFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strAppDataFolder).SubFolders

        

        For Each Folder In FoldersInFolder

            If Not UCase(Folder.Name) = "EXTENSIONS" _

            And Not UCase(Folder.Name) = "EXTENSION STATE" Then

                Folder.Delete True

            End If

        Next

        

        For Each File In FilesInFolder

            If Not UCase(File.Name) = "PREFERENCES" Then File.Delete

        Next

        

    End Sub



    ' Clears the Firefox cache, passwords, cookies, etc...

    Sub ClearAllFirefoxStoredInfo

        Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

        

        strLocalAppData = AQEnvironment.GetEnvironmentVariable("LocalAppData") & "\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles"

        strRoamingAppData = AQEnvironment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AppData") & "\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles"



        Set FoldersInFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strLocalAppData).SubFolders

        For Each Folder In FoldersInFolder

            Folder.Delete True

        Next

        

        Set FoldersInFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strRoamingAppData).SubFolders

        For Each Folder In FoldersInFolder

            Set FilesInFolder = Folder.Files

            For Each File in FilesInFolder

                If Instr(1, File.Name, "sqlite") > 0 Then File.Delete

            Next

        Next

        

    End Sub
