does the P.C remember websites you have visited on the hard drive other than in your history?

Answer 1

Yes - temporary internet files are stored.

Also, if you download pictures or videos, they are stored.

Also, if you allow cookies, your computer will retain the cookies.

To clear these, in IE7, go to Tools, Internet Options, Browsing History, Delete.

You can also go to the temporary folder where you downloads are kept and clear this folder, as well.
