What operating system to you use?
Do you use messenger?

I think its stupid how everyones worried about people accessing these folders.
If you care enough about them you can get a program to clear them, or just dont go on dodgy porn sites , and if your parents cared enough to check these folders all the time then the would just watch over you when your online.

I hate such articles... such articles are typically written and read by people who stamp them as absolute truth and use such stuff as references in discussion ("see, X has written that blahblah, that's proof enough")

One more thing. They contain your browsing history at ALL times. Even after you have instructed Microsoft Internet Explorer to clear your history/cache. And so the saying goes, "seeing is believing."

To see for yourself simply do as you would normally do to clear your browsing history. Go to Internet Options under your Control Panel. Click on the [Clear History] and [Delete Files] buttons. (Make sure to include all offline content.)

So, has your browsing history been cleared? One would think so.

Skipping the to chase here. These are the names and locations of the "really hidden files":
c:\windows\history\history.ie5\index.dat
(blahblahblah)

1) "history", "cache", "cookies", "temporary files" are all very different items and can't be thrown on one heap if you write something like that

2) The button he is talking about in MSIE clearly states: "history", not "cache", not "cookies", not anything else. Of course pressing that button will only delete the "history"

3) after pressing all buttons (history, cache, temp files, etc) EVERYTHING is cleared, even in his so called folders-which-MS-doesn't-want-you-to-know-about and his oh-so-secretly-index.dat files

DELTREE/Y TEMPOR~1 (This line removes your internet cache.)

(If that last line doesn't work, then type this

CD\WINDOWS\APPLIC~1
DELTREE/Y TEMPOR~1

(If that didn't work, then type this

CD\WINDOWS\LOCALS~1
DELTREE/Y TEMPOR~1

1) Oh yeah, remove the complete directories with name and all so Windows can get confused and sometimes *beeps* up because the system directories which it needs don't exist anymore

2) Sure, advise the readers to use DOS 8.3 shortnames so you can kill directories you didn't wanted to kill because they have actually another index number...
Temporary Word Files => shortname: TEMPOR~1
Temporary Internet files => shortname: TEMPOR~2






Take such ("bashing" 'n "lets proof it") articles with a serious grain of salt.... don't believe everything which is insinuated there. Just use the stuff he said and do some research and learning on your own... If Windows has hidden folders, there is a reason to. If it has system folders, it has even more reason to. If it doesn't include certain folders in the searches (which you can easly turn on /off btw) it has every reason to. You don't want n00bs to go messing with files and folders which Windows needs to keep on running properly. Also, Windows doesn't hide a thing. Sure it hides stuff, but it is hidden from the unknowledgeable user who otherwise would mess it up anyways. For the user who knows what he is doing (or who cares to read how to turn certain options off), Windows has no secrets at all...

Not 'System' folders, actual system folders that are hidden by default and can't be shown in explorer regardless of their attributes
