Yes !

I use ultraedit and delete

cookies [index.dat]

and all that is not to my likening.

==================================

If "they" were using a log file

to call home, you'd hard about it by now.

==========

Associate an editor (binary capab) with those various "log" crap.


Good luck, girly.

Yes but the info would soon be written back.

Anything in the Windows Temp folder (reboot first) and the Temporary
Internet Files and Cookies (can be done from IE, tools, internet options).

If you are trying to gain drive space, uninstall old software that you never
use or can get by without.
