Summary:
There are many file directories that Microsoft tries to hide on your computer. Among these directories, you will find
Microsoft Internet Explorer records all the sites you have visited.
So that you have cleared your cache, Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express note
Record all your E-MAIL information-even if you have cleared them from the trash (which also includes
The attachment in the letter). Believe me, I have mentioned less than 50%.
The reason why I say these files are well hidden is that they are so well hidden that if you
Without DOS knowledge, you won't be able to find these things.
Some files can only be displayed in DOS or Windows Explorer. Some files are displayed in DOS and
It cannot be displayed in Windows, but it can be displayed in a specific work environment.
Next, if you do not know their existence in advance
There are very few opportunities for them.
To show you how mean these hidden files are, let me give you a simple example. There are three hidden files.
The folder contains your name, address, phone number, website you have visited, what you have sent or received
By each E-MAIL you send or receive each attachment you find through the search engine
Each keyword, the name of each downloaded file, the name of the file containing "sensitive" information
There is a copy of Cookies, a fully readable E-MAIL from your HOTMAIL account, your PGP key
, And more...
Interestingly, all of the above are not mentioned on microsoft's official website.
Preface:
I know someone is beginning to realize these aspects, but I'm sure most people do not know
The purpose of this Guide is to tell you exactly what Microsoft products have done and how
To regain our privacy.

1. Definitions and abbreviations
The best definition I have proposed is the following:

I) the so-called "deep hiding" file/folder is when you select the "show all files" option
Still cannot be displayed by Windows Explorer or when the MS-DOS column file directory is
, You cannot find such files/folders through "Search.
A) You must have at least one working environment for Explorer to display them (deep hiding of files/folders)
B) The MS-DOS must be able to show them through at least one working environment (deep hiding files/folders)
C) You must have at least one working environment for "Search" to find them (hiding files/folders in depth)
D) they are deliberately hidden.
II) You must add the "deep hidden" file/folder to a simple file/folder (such as MS) with h (hidden attribute ).
DOS. SYS or SYSBCKUP folder.
III) The files/folders of "deep hiding" must be the same as some intentionally hidden files of "Others" (such as a file name ).
Is ?? & Euml ;? X & yen;. Files) are separated.

DOS = Disk Operating System
MSIE = Microsoft Internet Explorer
TIF = Temporary Internet Files (folder) (Temporary Internet Files/folders)
HD = Hard Disk
OS = Operating System

----------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Why should I delete these files?
1) because this obviously involves your privacy security issues
2) because Microsoft intentionally wants to keep these records (for the reason, I can only guess)
3) because these files occupy a lot of disk space, I once found that a computer has 200 MB of space.
This file is occupied by such files. Now you can understand what slows down your computer.
After performing the following steps, you may find that your computer's performance has been greatly improved.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

3. How to delete these files as soon as possible
This part will gradually describe how to delete these files as soon as possible. This part is recommended to non-professionals.
The step study will be discussed in section 4th. Note that the following steps will delete all your cached files, all
Cookie file, all E-MAIL information. If you are using MSIE's offline browsing feature, these
Offline files will also be deleted.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

3.1 If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer
1) Shut down your computer and restart it.
2) Press F8 when your computer starts up until you see a selection menu.
3) Select "command line mode" (this will enable you to enter the real DOS mode)
4) after your computer is started, you will see C:> _. Then, enter the following command and press
Press enter.

(If the preceding command is invalid, enter the following command:

CDWINDOWSAPPLIC ~ 1TEMPOR ~ 1
DELTREE/y content. IE5

(If the above command is still invalid, enter the following command

CDWINDOWSLOCALS ~ 1TEMPOR ~ 1
DELTREE/y content. IE5

(If you are sure you are using MSIE and none of the above steps are valid, please send a E-MAIL to me.
The location of this folder is my task. I feel very grateful to MSIE for hiding my cache somewhere.
Interest. I know that earlier MSIE versions usually put the cache in "C: WINDOWSCONTENT .)
5) This usually takes a long time to complete the above deletion. The longer the deletion time, Microsoft notes
The more personal information you have recorded. After completing the preceding operations, perform the following operations:

CD

4) delete all the connections you have found. Do not delete folders (such as "01", "02", "03 ").
Double-click the value to confirm that they are actually connected. My key values are as follows:
HKEY_USERS/Default/Software/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/TypedURLs/
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/TypedURLs/
5) in the Registry Editor, find the key value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion
/Explorer/RemoteComputer/NameSpace/{d6277990-4c6a-11cf-8d87-00aa0060f5b5}
6) Delete the key value {d6277990-4c6a-11cf-8d87-00aa0060f5b5} which will make your "Look up

3.4 permanently delete your files
You may have known that deleting a file only deletes the index pointing to the file. In fact, the file you deleted
It still exists on your hard disk, and anyone can easily recover it.
BCWipe enables a good program to permanently delete files.
If you use DOS, FileDust is a task that obtained 5 stars on ZDNET.
A good program.
If you use PGP, you will find a "Freespace Wipe" option in PGPtools.
Norton Utilities also includes a very good program to thoroughly delete files.
