internet history files location

yes the text is old;
finally the hidden file the author is just the .dat file;

if really microsoft is hidding some progs and data on our hard drives I
don't think some software not made by microsoft could access them.
for exemple my software AIDA32 which has no apparent relation with microsoft
shows some data I can't find by searching on the hard drive. If the author of
AIDA32 knows about the location of those files, it means that it is not a
secret of microsoft.

Also in your link the author says you just have to use another Internet
Explorer tool like Mozilla or other to avoid microsoft spy while it is so
easy to an advanced programmer to make a code that scans all internet
activity even without using a specific internet explorer tool.
So the conclusion is: If microsoft wants to spy all our activity it can do
with a perfect discretion almost, at least for 99.9% of all microsoft tools
users; I think that there is less than 0.1% that are advanced enough to
threat microsoft by their skills.

Anyway there is one way to avoid microsoft spies and I'm not sure, it is to
use Linux;
but maybe lunux programmers also make some spyware. who knows?

In fact the best is to not to use at all internet and even cut the cable or
break the Wifi antenna.
But if some authorities come into your house and check your HD, they'll find
certainly more data that you would expect.
So the best is to not to use computers.
Also since any data carried by the GSM carriers can be spied you're not safe
at all by using your mobile!
so the best is to not to use computers and also mobile phones;
and so on!!!

I hope you liked it!

yes i saw everything;
for deleting the temporary files they say just to delete the whole folder
which I did know and seems to be oobvious!

What I WANT TO DELETE ONLY SOME ENTRIES!
I WANT TO KEEP THE REST OF THE DATA

and So there is no way to make the explorer showing all folders in the
"temporary Internet files"??????
there should be a mean obviously.

Did you see the "Completely Deleting the Temporary Internet Files and
index.dat " part in that URL I gave you? Explorer shows the namespace
view,
and does not show content.ie5 as a folder.

thanks;
How can I access and read the file "index.dat" in a proper manner, i.e.
without any scheming.
all options are set to show hidden files I didn't find more options;
and why all folders in the "history..." folder are invisible?
the Thumbnails viewer of IrfanView only show them!!!
There shoud an option somewhere to set them as visible!
 
<sigh>

Sorry for the junk post above.

I'll try my post tomorrow - too late to recompose (decompose?) it again.
