I only know how this can be done by the strategy, where the application
specifies which files to process, and the system processes them when it
reboots.
(see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q140570& )

Does your method work without rebooting?
If so, it would be very interesting for me, if it works for the following
files, created by the Internet Explorer:
- Windows\Cookies\index.dat
- Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\index.dat
