how do i check what my kids have downloaded after they have deleted it because its supposed to still be on?

Question

even if they delete it where do i find it

Answer 1

If you really want to find it, it should be in your backup files, unless if they cleaned or overwrote it, or defraged the computer, then it would be gone, or if it was recently downloaded, you can check through your internet browser through the tools menu, but usually it gets deleted fairly fast

Answer 2

Open The Start Menu--Click On "Run"---Type c:\Documents And Settings\(users Name)\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files---Then Click "OK".These Folders Contain The Most Recently Visited Web Sites.

Answer 3

◙ Control what your children see and do on the internet. The best software for doing this is WebWatcher. It gives you more features than any other application.

1) Monitor in real-time from anywhere.
2) Block any webpage based on content or web address.
3) Read instant messages (IM or "Chat") conversations.
4) Read incoming and outgoing email.
5) Log every keystroke from the keyboard.
6) Take screenshoots.
7) Record online and offline activities
8) Quickly sift through data using a unique keyword system.
9) There are cheaper apps. But they aren't as functional or as reliable as this one.

Where are located Index.dat files?

Location of index.dat files depends on the version of Windows and whether or not you are using user profiles. Regardless of Windows version in many cases you can't see or find index.dat file using Windows Explorer. There is a little file called desktop.ini in each directory where index.dat file is located. This desktop.ini file forces Windows Explorer to hide index.dat files and to show the contents of Internet cache or history instead. However you can use some other file utility and binary (hex) editor to find the files and read their content.
