| Posted by: ratero at February 19, 2006, 5:41 pm | | Topic: Question for tech geeks re:cookies, temp internet, registry Forum: Bonus Whores | Well, I tried it and it seems to work:
Open Control Panel, click User Accounts
Wizard opens up, select Create a new account
For the name, I chose Mr. Signup
Make him an administrator so you can install software
Log off your main account
Log on to Mr. Signup account
Mr. Signup's cookie and temp internet folder will be empty
Go to affiliates homepage (BW for example)
click on link to casino
download software, install, sign up
log off Mr. Signup
log back on your normal user account
go to the folder where the casino software was installed and create a shortcut to the casino program on your desktop
For subsequent signups at other sites:
Log out of normal account
Log onto Mr. Signup
Open Internet Explorer
On Tools, Internet Options, General tab, Temporary Internet files
-delete cookies, delete files
proceed as outlined above | | Static Link |

I have seen it advised by many including here:

To summarize thread:
A guy signed up at a site and an affiliate got credit that he had never heard of and he couldn't get in the free tourney that he expected to.
My question was not so mush WHETHER to delete cookies before signing up at a new site since it seems like a good idea, but what method to use to make sure there are no rogue cookies that will give credit where it is not due.
Since there are many good cookies on my system that I want to keep and there is no effective way to search and destroy the bad ones, I am looking for alternative methods. I thought of 2, one of which I proposed.
1 - Using administrative tools, create new user account on system. Use that account ONLY to sign up at new sites linking thru the ap... | | Read Entire Entry |

There is no need to clear your cookies just to sign up at a new poker site unless your affiliate tells you to within their instructions. The only reason they are asking you to do this is so thay can ensure you are being tracked to their links and not another affialiates. Clearing cookies and internet files is the easiest way to ensure you are tracked to them.
If you want to create another user on your PC just to play poker from then you will have a different set of files than another user on the PC. When deleting one users cookies and internet files you only clean that users.
This does not work for registry settings. Registry settings are for the computer, not for individual users.. Unless you really know what you are doing DO NOT CHANGE YOUR REGISTRY SETTINGS MANUALLY. THis could seriously mess up your PC.
If you are trying to sign up at differetn skins switching skins will not help since there are registry settings tha... | | Read Entire Entry |

I would rather not have to delete the cookies since there are many sites I go to where I would have to re-enter data that my cookies conveniently provide. You could just clear out the new user account before signing up at each site.
I haven't tried this but my understanding of Windows is that each user has their own temp internet folder
This might even work for the registry related entries but I am not enough of a geek to know exactly where in the registry sites deposit their info and where they search for it when you sign up at a new skin.
Any geeks out there that know for sure, please provide guidelines. It might streamline the whoring. | | Static Link |
