Then, the reboot-to-restore programs, such as Deep Freeze already mentioned here, came along.
Some of the so-called Cleaner programs did not actually get everything. I was not so concerned from a privacy issue, rather, I just despise clutter and growing files/folders, including all of the temporary stuff that is created both in Windows Explorer and the Registry.
A number of them do not show up in a search using Explorer, even if selecting Hidden Files and Folders. It's really complicated, because there are many such files integrated between IE and the Operating System. Many years ago, a group of us looked at the index.dat issue. If you want, send me a PM and I'll send you my index.dat file for you to look at.
There are several Index.dat files within C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\History\History.IE5\*. Is this testing procedure flawed in some way?. Can other forum members conduct similar tests to check these findings?. Open and inspect C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\History\History.IE5\MSHist.\index.dat in WinHex.Ĭontrary to expectations based upon the prior quote, I am in fact able to easily see the website history within the Index.dat file. Verify that IE no longer displays these websites in its history (Favorites | History | Today). Delete the browsing history in IE (Tools | Internet Options | Browsing history | Delete). Verify that IE displays these websites in its history (Favorites | History | Today). Click to expand.In my own testing with Internet Explorer 8 on Windows Vista Business, I am unable to confirm that history entries in the Index.dat file are overwritten with zeros when deleted.
