Getting rid of Hidden files for good?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Calum:
it will work perfectly for win98, and i am not 100% sure about IExplore 6, but i tried it with 5.5 and no problems.

It's odd that you can't get true dos mode from win98.
If i were you i'd go to the start menu, select shut down, and you should get 4 options, 'shut down', 'restart', 'sleep' and 'restart in msdos mode'
Of course you choose 'restart in msdos mode' and it just boots up to a command prompt, which should look like this:

C:/WINDOWS>

This means you are in the windows folder/directory on the C: drive, that's the folder where windows is installed (unless you put it somewhere else, but that's highly unlikely).
to get to this prompt, you might want to try that F8 thing, or i have heard that sometimes it's some other F* key that you need to press.
That's all i know!

Would this program cover the IE portion? Or does that just delete the references? If it deletes all the references, then should I just download a trial of Bestcrypt or something and have it wipe it with 1's and 0's?

Opera and Mozilla don't log everything you do, do they? (LOL)

Calum:
i haven't tried that ieradicator program yet, tell you what, give me 24 hours, and i will. Then i'll post back here and let you know which internet exploder 'really hidden files' it has or hasn't removed...

I suspect that you will need to run ieradicator first, then you will probably still need to remove the 'really hidden' files manually. We shall see...

ISX:
Ok, Thanks

Calum:
Okay, i meant 72 hours. Hang on and i'll post my results on Saturday or Sunday
(sorry. a lot of stuff happening)
