If Mozilla or Opera are installed it is also possible to use they're data which is stored in the /Application Data/.
The only problem is that I will still have to know the username of the victim.

Mozilla user's profile path will have a randomly named directory. See below (this on Windows 2000 and XP):

C:\Documents and Settings\<Windows username>\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\<profile name, usually default>\<random 8 characters>.slt\

Older Mozilla installations may have slightly different path, but they should all still contain that "salted" directory name.
