ABOUT INDEX.DAT FILES: Index.dat files contain ALL your web surfing history
since they were (re)created. Here are 3 reasons to delete them: (1) They are
never resized, and only get bigger. (2) Large index.dat files can cause
performance problems when browsing. (3) To protect your privacy, so others
cannot see where you've been on the Internet. (You'll have to delete other
files as well; some information is also stored in the registry about where
you've been.)

This is off your delta.bat page.
I said some reg files would have to be removed. I remember well !
So as i asked before, what reg keys need to go. Regards, Col

Typed Url's, Autocomplete history etc. Even if you have autocomplete disabled windows still records it.

To do this you can either edit the regsitry manually or use the listzapper program i told you about last time you asked Response 11 of this Thread.

Click here. At the bottom of the page you will see the links for listzapper.

I have it too, even when I'm logged in!

I once heard of a little program called 'spider' they is able to clean the index.dat-files.

Is the confirm really needed for logged in visitors. I am assuming once you log in with your email id and password, the IP number is recorded.
