Subject says it all.

Is there a user-proof way for a user to press a button on their Windows machine which will cause them to be presented with their IE settings in a log file format (just plain text) which can then be emailed to me.

I'm doing a registration script that requires cookies and javascript to be turned on, and I have a cookie/script test page that is failing something like .2% of the time.

I'd like a fool-proof way to detect that support for javascript is turned on and that the cookie settings are at a high enough threshold.

Thanks, John

A: 

You might try to use the techniques this site is engaging.
There are two links to check for javascript and cookies being enabled.

I expect without javascript, checking cookies will not work.
So, you need to check in that order.

I suggest downloading the html pages linked on that page to check them.

You suggestion does not attempt to answer my question. FWIW, I have built a cookie/script detection process. That is easy. Reaching into a _still_complaining_ users machine is not.

I found the notes at http://www.solidview.com/soos/login.asp good enough to push me through the necessary unlocks on my firefox extensions.
