Internet Explorer 7 available

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Internet Explorer 7 available

I'm guessing IE7 still tracks and records all your surfing activities like the previous versions(?)

Jim Brown, is that true? I'm freaked out now.


There are a few hiden folders which Windows Explorer is designed not to view such as Content.IE5, History.IE5

Try this (WinXP/Win98):

1) Download Turbo Navigator
2) Browse into these folders and look for INDEX.DAT ..

a) c:\windows\temporary internet files
b) c:\windows\application data\temporary internet files
c) c:\windows\local settings\temporary internet files\
d) c:\windows\application data\microsoft\internet explorer\user data
e) c:\Documents and Settings\OWNERS NAME\Local Settings\temporary internet files\

3) Open up the INDEX.DAT file with UltraEdit or a similar program

There you will see various links to sites you have visited etc ..

Note that you cannot delete the Index.Dat file since the O/S has conveniently locked it.

Try Index.dat in the History/History.IE5 folder too.


Makes you wonder why Microsoft chose to hide this information in SO MANY locations hey(?!)
