Batch file to Delete Cookies

[Guest]

I have a very simple batch file that looks like this
del /Q /F %USERPROFILE%\Cookies\*.tx
But when I run it I get the following error
The system cannot find the path specified
What am I doing wrong

if %userprofile% contains spaces del woon't find the path.
Enclose the path:
del /Q /F "%USERPROFILE%\Cookies\*.txt"

You have to quote the path because USERPROFILE probably has space characters
in it.

del /Q /F "%USERPROFILE%\Cookies\*.txt"

I beg to disagree. Hang around here a while and it will become second nature
to you!
