Default Clearing IE cache and cookies through VBA?

Hi!

I'd like to clear IE's browser cache and cookies (i.e. the temporary
internet files folder). As this doesn't seem to be possible on a file
system level, I'd like to instruct the InternetExplorer to do this.

I am familiar with the InternetExplorer.Application object but was
unable to find an object reference or sample code how to call menu items
- can anybody point me in the right direction, please?

Thanks for your support.

Martin

Did not find a way in VBA to do this but a workaround:

RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 4351

will do the job.

Best regards,
