This begs the obvious question:  

Are these dubious files created with Amiga browsers on Amiga hardware?  More importantly, are these files deleted when you try to delete them?  What about under "Amiga" emulation? I think in the case of Faux Amiga, yes, because the "Amiga" is just a layer on top of all that windoze bloat and it is, afterall, a Pee See.

...IE made the interface for cleaning up these files much simpler with "Cover my Tracks"

That must be part of the "Just Trust Us" service pack.

The justification given in that link is completely unconvincing.

Things they haven't explained:

(a) why it is hidden.
(b) why it is not cleared when the user wants it to be.
(c) how it makes browsing any better.
(d) why the file format is secret.




There was an item "(e)".  Why was that cen$ored out?  Minuous was only speaking the truth about M$.
