Getting rid of Hidden files for good?

(1/3) > >>

ISX:
I want to get rid of the URL's, cookies, and all that stuff from my PC. I know there are some articles on this, but they were a little confusing.

What do I do? I know there are a few programs that do this, but they are really expensive. Doing it manual works just as good, right?

Thanks

Also, is there away I could automatically delete the files on start up?

ISX:
Oh yeah, i'm using WIn98 now..I'll be getting 2k later.

Can you tell me how to do it on both?

Calum:
If you are using win98, it's very simple, get a printout of the r1ddler's article, or write down enough notes that you'll remember the instructions, then "Restart your computer in M$-DOS mode" and voila! you will have a command prompt ready to go!
I didn't know a thing about DOS and i had no problems following the r1ddler's instructions, just go through it step by step, and it will all become clear as you do it.
Not too sure about win2k though, it's an NT, so will have different non-DOS rules.

ISX:
I'm using Win98 and IE6, will it still work?

And..I tried it but MS-DOS never came up....

Gonusto:
Hitting F8 a couple of times during the boot up process should bring up a list of options on how your want your computer to finishing booting.  Pick the "command line" option and you'll be set to go.
