Answer 1

In your cookies, temp files, recent document, internet history files.

C/documents and settings/local settings/YOUR NAME/ and all of the above.

Answer 2

Internet History and the Temporary Internet Files Folder contains much info about where you went, including all those little cookies.

Hi if you want to get rid of all that evidence of which sites you've been on...
This is how you can do it....

1: Firstly you want to go to internet explorer, (not a shortcut to it, but the actual program),
its in C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer. OR a second method is to go to internet options in Start/Settings/Control Panel.
And right click it, then select properties.
2: Now go to the tab called "General" and go to the third box down and select, "Clear History."

Also to free up memory (I'm talking a lot of memory) and hide back up evidence of where you have been
go to the second box in general on internet, called Temporary internet files and select, Delete files,

Be sure and check the Delete Offline Content.


Internet Options is also available from Internet Explorer's Tools menu.

Answer 3

If you're using the Firefox browser, when you're done with the PC, go to TOOLS > OPTIONS > PRIVACY >HISTORY and click on Clear Browsing History Now. If you've also downloaded stuff, click on DOWNLOAD HISTORY and then Clear Download History Now. Click on OK to exit.

If you're using Internet Explorer, STOP - it's a good way to get spyware and hacked.

Answer 4

really simple he checks the internet history. to delete anything you want from internet history so he can't tell just go to VIEW and the SIDEBAR at the top of the internet page. It comes up and you right click and select delete. So now there is no freaky stalkerish activity

Answer 5

Maybe your brother want to avoid you look into adult pages? I don't know how old are you, but anyway you can protect your privacy, especially if you are over 16-18.... I am cheking permanently, what my son is watching in internet, but he is only 8. So, you know what I mean.

Answer 6

He either has event viewer listing them or he is just looking at your browser history. There is no real big secret to it, everything you do on a PC is there for quite a while whether you delete it or not.

Answer 7

well...depends he could check your history and if he doesn't (which he probably does) he sees it from your folder there is this folder that u can clear from the internet options that have EVERY single thing like every picture u saw every word u saw everything by visiting 1 site u probably got more then 100 things in that folder and if he doesnt look in any of these places then there is this program that i dont no wat its called but it hacks inside other ppls comps and u can see everything ur doing (but that means he instuled something in ur comp)

Answer 8

It's obvious, he gets into your internet history. It isn't that amazing. And the thing with the C drive, he's wasting his time looking for the cookies and make you feel stupid because he knows and you don't.

Answer 9

Temporary internet folder. He probably has a keylogger installed on the pc.

Answer 10

two different locations

sites in i.e. history

files/videos in recent history (you can tell xp not to show this- right click on the taskbar and select properties then start menu- customise and customise- advanced and untick recent menu)

you can delete both

or wrt internet use firefox and tell it to delete files on exit
