I'm assuming theres a way, from a windows app, to read a cookie from the users PC.

The problem is, my application is downloaded from a website. (actually, from many websites) and the boss wants the app to retain user information, such as email and password, that the user entered on the site before downloading. I was just about to tell him this would be impossible without recompiling the installer with something user specific on each download, but before I give him the thumbs down, I was wondering if i could just scan the cookies dir, or perhaps do some tricks with the broser control. Has anyone done anything like this or know where I should begin?
