Sorry I forgot to mention I am writing a Batch file and wish to determine what the windows type is , as the location of files is different on xp/vista
example here
@TITLE AnyNew by HighlandElectrix(TV)
@echo off
@mode con:cols=90 lines=20
rem this program will find where your cookies are stored (xp/Vista) and then look at each one and let you choose
rem whether to Keep or Delete it, if you keep it, a copy will be stored in a folder c:\goodcookies, so that next
rem time its found it will be ignored, also any cookies you choose to delete will be moved to c:\badcookies
rem and if found again will be deleted autometically. Hope you like it (freeware (c) Eddie Duncan-Dunlop 2010)
rem if you accidentally delete a good cookie, the go to the badcookies folder and cut/paste to goodcookies, or reverse
rem if you make a mistake, you can open the c:\badcookies or c:\goodcookies and correct the error
rem only designed for Internet Explorer
set version=v1.23.bat
echo (c) Eddie Duncan-Dunlop 2010 Version %version%

rem E=bright yellow 0=Black
rem set the path to where all cookies are stored (vista is different)
