hi ,

i have a small query to clarify from you. if possible
try to give me a reply in the return mail.

query:
in the windows os computer we will use findfiles tab to locate which files are needed from the harddisk. And when we click run button from the start menu, we can give our commands or the tasks to run in the
system. but i want no other person should see what are all the searches i have made in the system. when other person uses the system.

how should i prevent doing so. if there is any technique kindly tell me.

with regards,
a.v.rajesh

Only way I know is to edit the registry (with the usual precautions)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\doc find spec mru
Delete a,b,c etc.

Yes, simply click on Start, then Settings, then "taskbar & Start menu", then click on "clear documents". This will clear your searches as well. And no one will see them after that. Good Luck.

Install TweakUI from the resource kit. You can use the paranoia tab to automatically clear all your 'trails'

first of all, if you have multiple users, you should be using profiles. but if not, right click task bar, choose properties, advanced, clear documents. and then quit being naughty so you don't have to cover up.
