Index.dat,invisible files,etc.
I never go anyware 'dodgy' on the net.Your just asking for trouble if you do.Basically I'm a news junkie,and tech reader.But that doesn't mean I can't go into paranoid mode every full moon. :D
Just to put your mind at rest,according to net gossip,Microsoft are very good at adding invisible files.In DOS for instance to make a folder/file unseen to a directory listing,they're set as + s [system].As soon as the dir/s command touches a system folder,the command is rendered useless.
In good old Internet Explorer,the desktop.ini text file can be added to folders to customize the folders behaviour.In other words,invisible.Using the Find:Files or Folders utillity won't help at all.Microsoft created a desktp.ini file with certain CLSID tags and the folder goes into thin air.
Surelly not another conspiracy theory from Nez?
As we always say here,use Firefox!
All the best,
