If you are in Windows, even with "Show hidden files and folders" enabled, these files are not visible and cannot be found if you do a search for these files. The reason that these files are so invisible is that they are not just hidden, they have been designated as "system" files. System files and folders are treated differently in DOS and Windows and are effectively cloaked from casual searches. <br /><br />These files/folders may hold a system and/or hidden attribute. <br /><br />the registry contains typed urls for internet explorer: Under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\ Microsoft\ Internet Explorer there is a folder called TypedURLs<br /><br />remember, being able to erase your histors does not remove the proxy tracker stuff on a server/gateway and most definately will NOT get you out of trouble if someone is reading a log file. it's best to use coworkers computers that are logged in as their profile when they are at lunch for things you don't want on your name. :) like, posting to blogger.forkevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07612851807551897769noreply@blogger.com
