i am selling my laptop in the trade and exchange....i used it for work and personal stuff. therefore i want to clean up any history etc i have on there. regarding internet....i thought i had deleted all but a friend said that there are "logs" and other places that i have probably missed?? i have been into internet options...and done the following; -delete files under the general tab -delete cookies under the general tab -clear history under general tab -clear forms and passwords under content tab i thought this would get rid of all as if it was a cleanly loaded computer?? but for example...i watched a movie trailer for star wars the other day....which took a while to get through windows media player....then after i had done all the steps above...clearing history etc....the next day when i went to watch the trailer again...it played straight away as if it was still somewhere on my hard drive??? please...can someone give me a list of all folders etc i need to delete or clear? any help would be greatly appreciated thanks
download & run ccleaner from www.ccleaner.com as it clears history, cookies, logs & whatever. or reformat the hd to solve that problem
hey, thanks a lot for your help...i really do appreciate it. i will try this CCleaner program...as i only just reformatted a few weeks ago and don't really want to go through that whole process again since i will use the laptop until it sells anyway. thanks again.
