(this info came from driver cleaner 2006 free)HOW can I see this information stored? and how can i remove them?

Answer 1

To see all stored web sites, press control-h in internet explorer or firefox. Autocomplete also stores all previous entries in a windows text boxes and many entries in all the web pages you have visited. Also, everything recently opened is added to a folder as a shortcut in c:\documents and settings\(username)\recent. This folder is hidden, so you will need to enable hidden folders before viewing its contents. To remove these, you can go to tools-internet options-clear history. You can also clear the temporary internet files. However, if you want the history/search inquiries to be deleted automaticly, EVERY time you log off to delete all evidence of what web sites you've been to, use tweakui. TweakUI has many, many options that will delete records of your computer's history. For instance, it can delete all recent search inquiries, temporary internet files, recent documents, typed url history, etc. every time you shut down or log off your computer. Find it at:
