Deleting your trace

Alright, so you went on your mom and dads computer and did some stuff that you weren't supposed to (i know what you perverted people do on the internet…) and now they might catch you. Well, follow my instructions and you shouldn't get caught.

First things first, when you start up the internet, see if you can get to a search engine so you don't have to type in the url, if you have to, there's a registry tweak for that. See, if you go to where you type in the url and you type in h, for example. If you typed hellboundhackers.org, that will show up in the "are you searching for this?" kind of area (under where you type the url). If you did, go to regedit and find the: -HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\Cache\Extensible Cache Now clear all of that. What that hold is the strings: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RunMRU and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs If your parents actually check the registry of the typed urls, instead of deleting them, change them to something they wouldn't second guess

There, now that that's out of the way, you want to clear the history. Now, go into the c: and find c:\documents and settings\admin (or whoevers computer you were on) and find local settings. From there you can go to the history (probably called recent) and clear the sites you were on of those urls and then go to temporary internet files. Clear that area of anything that could be traced to your activity (pictures, cookies, etc.)

Now, there is a secret index.dat and if your parents aren't computer savvy, i think you should probably do this (just in case). Go to DOS and do: cd C:\Windows smartdrv deltree history .

Now, don't download anything. There's a registry tweak for erasing the trace of a download, but i couldn't find it. Oh, and before i forget, if you did download something, there is one thing you can do, go to start-programs and delete all that crap, and then go to start-documents and delete all that crap as well.

I know there are many more ways, i probably just forgot them. Have fun and remember, always delete your trace

And if you have to sign on, do not forget to sign off, and beware of the inbox for outlook, if it is up, it can act as a tracking device if the people get a lot of e-mails.

  1. If using Firefox, Ctrl-Shift-Del
  2. Clean registry like it says above
  3. Reboot

Not bad, you can also tell the browser to not keep a history or save form input. (Tools>Options)
