Hi Gene,
my first thought is to just use a batch file to kill all cookies and index.dat on each reboot....

now that I'm getting a little paranoid here...there are utilities availible to hide files, folders, in dos, that even attrib -r -a -s -h can't make visible.

not sure how that hiding stuff is pulled off.
cause of the same thing that makes undelete possible? the extra copy of the FAT maybe?


if a web site can redirect you, and do stuff with cookies that cookies aren't supposed to be used for, how can we be sure our cookies are really deleted on our own machines (by using attrib -r -a -s -h and deltree c:\windows\tempro~1)

ya know the problem is how we define "our" machines.....you don't own windows, you licence it, so what it does is leagaly, none of our business....leagaly

when I learned this it was alarming to find that index.dat and was there, but you cant find it using dos.
you can delete it if you know how, but you still cant see it, without doing the attrib stuff
