Deleting Browsing traces from windows

Author : Paulryan
Whenever you search the internet, and view files on your computer your operating system is taking note of these operations, and stores them for later. This can be a useful tool for re-tracing your footsteps; but what happens when you don’t want other people to be able to find out where you’ve been.



This may seem a bit technical but it’s really quite simple and useful:



Removing Traces from Windows

- Click "My Computer" on your desktop (Or open up "Windows Explorer"

- Navigate by double click to: "C Drive" - > "Documents and Settings"

- Next you need to go to double click on whatever username you are logged in as.

- Often times by default folders will be hidden in here. Let's:

- Go to "Tools" - > "Folder Options..." in the menu bar

- Select the "View" tab

- In the scrollbox select the radio button by "Show hidden files and folders"

- Press "Apply" and then "Ok"

- Double click on "My Recent Documents" and delete everything inside of this folder.

- Next go back a folder and double click on "Local Settings"

- In this folder will be all of the cache and history files that we should have delete in the Internet Explorer instructions above. Let's double check.

- Delete everything from inside of the "History", "Temp" and "Temporary Internet Files".

- Done!
