Do you know what's stored on your computer?
Do you know what information is stored on your computer? There are many things that are stored on a PC, alot of it without your knowledge, like Temporary Internet Files and Cookies. There are also hidden Windows Application Logs which remember how often you have been using your applications. Windows Media Player also hides a history of your activity like what videos you have watched, or what music you have listened too.
Just a few places information is stored...
Your browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape etc) remembers URL'S (website addresses), text, pictures and sounds. And what else is stored you don't know about? Did you know that the hidden Windows index.dat file stores details about the sites you've visited, even after you've cleared your history? And how about clearing the history in programs such as Media Player, Kazaa, AOL, MSN Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, Office -- and others? |
