Actually i m using shared computer and need privacy so tell me how to get rid of this

Answer 1

To clear what you see in the address bar
Right click your START button, choose Properties
Choose Start Menu tab, and click Customize button
Choose Advanced tab, click Clear List button
POOF..GONE

Temporary Internet Files (TIFs) are stored on your machine under each user account. They are difficult to find, but it can be done. These files are still there even after you supposedly get rid of them through Internet Options.
Here is the path to the files.
Open My Computer
Open TOOLS menu, and choose Folder Options
choose VIEW tab
under HIdden Files and folders,
choose Show hidden files and folders
below that, UNCHECK Hide extensions for known file types
and UNCHECK Hide protected operating system files
Answer YES to the warning, and click OK

Now open C:\ drive
Open Documents and Settings
Open the user account you wish to see TIFs
(note: you cannot delete all of the TIFs from the account you are logged into, but you can delete those of other accounts)
Open the folder Local Settings
There is your TEMP folder
There is your Temporary Internet Files folder
These are the real deal..and even if you have "Deleted" TIFs with Internet Options, you will find TONS of files here.
I would suggest you delete as many of these as you can, and the easiest way is to just delete the two folders. If it is your account, you might want to create a new account just for cleaning your TIFs
Windows really doesnt want TIFs found..for some reason.
Open the Temporary Internet Files folder.
All you see are some text files, a few pics..etc.
There is more...
Click the addressbar (C:\documents and settings\\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files)
hit the right arrow, to put your cursor just to the right of the 's' in Temporary Internet Files.
type \content.ie5 (C:\documents and settings\\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\content.ie5)
and hit Enter
see those funky folders???? Those contain your TIFs

Answer 2

In Internet Options,
click the General tab
for Browsing History, click Settings
near the right, bottom, click days to keep pages in history - type 0

On a shared computer, after you logoff, click restart.
You will logon with a clear slate.

Answer 6

Consider a philosophical conundrum.

The desire to do something immoral and "get away with it" so you can maintain a false moral integrity with your peers.

What motivates you to be two people instead of one?

What is wrong with owning your actions and your beliefs and desires?

Are you building character by being duplicitous or eroding it?

The desire for privacy is largely a desire for solitude. The desire to Hide has nothing to do with solitude, only deception, both of the self and other.

As for your question, i have no idea. I have been trying to find out for years. lol.
