Keeping info private by cleaning up IE's mess
I've been trying to figure out what all I need to delete on my machine in order to keep my information private. This mostly regards IE.
For instance, after browsing the web, what all directories/files should I delete in order to keep my info private. As of now, I go and delete my hotmail and yahoo cookies from the Windows\Cookies directory. Is there anything else that I should be deleting?
I was thinking maybe the Windows\Temporary Internet Files directory. What about the Content.IE5 sub-directory in this directory?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hmmm, I use the Opera browser, but
I would go into Tools and delete cookies, files, and history. I'd also download something like Proxomitron or something similar

It will keep referrers off your machine and manage cookies, rid you of pop up ads and a whole lot more. Still, I'd dump everything at the end of each session online. Only takes a few seconds.
