VERY simple question: browser history

[Synthesis]

I'm gonna write a simple VB program to delete all my internet history files, and I was wonderin if you guys would tell me the locations of all the places it saves files of interest to, i know cookies, temporary internet files, where else? Thanks

Be easier to make a batch file with the command

del C:\...\Cookies\*.txt
del C:\...\Temporary internet files\*.*


Syntax and shit:

WIth vb, you will have to have to say something like

Shell ("cmd.exe", del C:\...\Cookies\*.txt)

I would go with a batch file if I were you.

VB looks nice with its fancy buttons and all, but batches work.

as for internet history, temp and cookies are all i can think of....

I'm going to go with 23 on this one, it's like writing a hello world program in C++

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
        cout << "Hello, world!";
        return 0;
}

when you can just use batch:

@echo off
echo Hello, world!

Keep in mind that you need to overwrite the data to be secure.

Mmmmhmmm

So, I think something like this would work out well

@echo off
:deletes
del C:\...\Cookies\*.txt
del C:\...\Temporary internet files\*.*
:write
start %0
goto write

Get ff, and clear private info.

Does that overwrite the data before being deleted?

No, it clears stuff like usernames. Cookies are still in the cookie folder.
