Microsoft = Big Brother

Sometimes its good to know which sites you have already visited in past.. for eg. when looking for a solution on google you could end up with visiting same site several times over and over again..

There is just one problem and the problem is that this file is not emptied when you for example clear cahche, history and so on in IE. Also it is hidden on purpose, so that the average joe cannot delete it. Why the hell would they do that?

One thing - NEVER use IE: it is full of holes even with SP2! Use Opera or Firefox. Use AVG Pro AND Spybot S&D and spyware blaster (maybe add Ad-Aware too)  then;
Learn to work with the registry! and your fairly safe.
You all do use good firewalls, right?

You apparantly are not getting the point. The point is that microsoft has done alot to stop the average user from deleting or even finding some of these files. Why should we have to hack the registery, boot up windows in safe mode and so on just to delete information regarding my browser history? Why is it not actually removed when you tell IE to remove it?

I just wonder why the hell microsoft have made it as hard as possible to delete something simple as a log. It apparantly is not a bug since they have still not done anything about it after so many years.
