Hidden IE files and view log in XP

Post by Dement »

Okay long story short, I want to be able to view the hidden files in IE and also view the log in XP that states what your doing and time stamps it.

My girl told me that she could see what I was doing on my PC after I deleted temp, history. Well she was right she said at so and so time you were playing poker then switching to look at this and that webpage. She was right that was exactly what I was doing. Any help would be appreciated.

Thats what I was gonna say..Those programs that let you "Spy on your wife or hubby" type deals.
It could also be that shes going through your History files. IE doesnt always do a good job of wiping the temp files out. If you right click on IE and left click properties, change your history to 1 or 0 days, go to the advanced page and put a check on Empty Temporary directory when you close IE.
Is she very computer knowledgeable?
If shes not, then I dunno how shes getting such a detailed track of what you were doing other then a keylogger.
Did you set the Folder options to Show Hidden Files and to Unhide system files ? Use a program like CrapCleaner http://www.ccleaner.com and under options take the check off of "Only Delete files 10 days or older in Temp Directory" .
I think running a program like spysweeper might give you a hint if a keylogger is installed on your system.

Dement, if she asks to smell your schlong, to see if you've been with another women, let her get close to it, then slap her with it and say "Get the F*&K out my house you crazy bitch"

clik start clik search clik find all files. You can sort as last accessed and see every file you have accessed.

including this site where Prey suggests dumping that finger puppet ;)

I was going to post a link to that thread, but the SG search results for "bullsh|t" were too numerous

sometimes you have to think outside the box to get inside the box ;).

Yes she is pretty computer savy.

No keylogger because this was the forst time she was ever on that computer.

She works in IT and got one of the securoty guys one time to show her how he catchs people that look at non work related things.

She close to showing me how she did it, but shes putting up a fight. LOL

I knew this girl that was checking her bfs email and voice mail....i think there are bigger issues there than her seeing what websites and programs that you use.

Nah, she just wanted to prove me wrong. When I said I cleared everything and there was nothing for her to see.

The thing that bothers me the most she how she saw some log file that showed me switching from program to program with times. I mean she found stuff from like 3 years ago.

THing about it folks, how much trouble we could all get in if your other found stuff from that long ago.
