I am sorry but your question is not very clear to me...Never mind..I'll try to help....Privacy seems to be your problem...No issues...Once I understand the scenerio exactly...I should be able to provide a solution...Okay...Now, The files are stored in more ways than one....One way is that you store your files yourself in "my documents" or elsewhere on your computer...Anyone can see them... the best way is to encrypt them in which case only you ( the person knowing the password ) will be able to see them..There are various free encryption softwares available on the web to download...I have been using CRYPTEXT which is simple to use and you can download it from :http://www.freewarebeast.com/freeware/download-cryptext-14477.php
Next ...when you are browsing the web ...some pages are automatically stored by your browse...In Internet Explorer...goto tools...then click on internet options...Delete all the stored history files from here...click on settings and change the value of days (By default 20)...to 0....And you are almost done.....Now each time you visit any site that you dont want others to know manually delete the history as explained above...
I hope that helps...Otherwise send me a mail and i'll try to resolve.
