From: Non scrivetemi on 27 Feb 2010 23:07 I use at least 5 different "eraser" programs in an attempt to erase traces of my Web usage and other tracks. I also have a few programs which erase many index.dat files. My music flv files and other media are not saved to my C: drive. They are downloaded and saved to other outboard USB drives. So, how come when I use Disk Investigator to search my C: drive for flv files, it finds tracks of all the flv files I have downloaded and stored on my outboard drives. NONE of these flv files exist on the C: drive. How come none of the eraser programs I'm using find these file tracks to erase? Where in the bleep are these usage 'tracks' hiding? Here is an example of some of the usage tracks Disk Investigtor finds: 1,945: That Old Feeling - Toyko.flv</a></font></td>..<td widt [69,556,128] 1,946: ideos/Anita O'day & Krupa.flv">G:\My Music Videos\Anita [69,556,128] 1,947: ideos\Anita O'day & Krupa.flv</a></font></td>..<td widt [69,556,128] 1,948: y 1956 - Honeysuckle Rose.flv">G:\My Music Videos\Anita [69,556,129] 1,949: y 1956 - Honeysuckle Rose.flv</a></font></td>..<td widt [69,556,129] 1,950: ic Videos/Anita O'Day Sax.flv">G:\My Music Videos\Anita [69,556,130] 1,951: ic Videos\Anita O'Day Sax.flv</a></font></td>..<td widt [69,556,130] 1,952: y sings Honeysuckle Rose..flv">G:\My Music Videos\Anita [69,556,130] 1,953: y sings Honeysuckle Rose..flv</a></font></td>..<td widt [69,556,130] 1,954: 'Day, Stella By Starlight.flv">G:\My Music Videos\Anita [69,556,131] 1,955: 'Day, Stella By Starlight.flv</a></font></td>..<td widt [69,556,131] 1,956: pher Cross & Dudley Moore.flv">G:\My Music Videos\Arthu [69,556,132] 1,957: pher Cross & Dudley Moore.flv</a></font></td>..<td widt [69,556,132] 1,958: 1981) - Christopher Cross.flv">G:\My Music Videos\Arthu [69,556,132] 1,959: 1981) - Christopher Cross.flv</a></font></td>..<td widt [69,556,132] 1,960: ial Flowers - Bobby Darin.flv">G:\My Music Videos\Artif [69,556,133] 1,961: ial Flowers - Bobby Darin.flv</a></font></td>..<td widt [69,556,133] 1,962: Cook sings 'Errol Flynn'.flv">G:\My Music Videos\Barba [69,556,134] 1,963: Cook sings 'Errol Flynn'.flv</a></font></td>..<td widt [69,556,134] 1,964: The Begin Astaire-Powell.flv">G:\My Music Videos\Begin [69,556,134] 1,965: The Begin Astaire-Powell.flv</a></font></td>..<td widt [69,556,134] 1,966: The Begin Astaire-Powell.flv">G:\My Music Videos\Begin [69,556,135] 1,967: The Begin Astaire-Powell.flv</a></font></td>..<td widt [69,556,135] 1,968: lvia Vrethammar - L.O.V.E.flv">G:\My Music Videos\Bert [69,556,136] 1,969: lvia Vrethammar - L.O.V.E.flv</a></font></td>..<td widt [69,556,136] 3,829: MP4 [74,306,148] 3,830: ith Durham - My Happiness.MP4.lnk [74,306,150] 3,831: 'Day, Stella By Starlight.MP4.lnk [74,306,150] 3,832: 'Day, Stella By Starlight.MP4.lnk [74,306,151] 3,833: ITA O'Day- INDESTRUCTIBLE.MP4.lnk [74,306,152] 3,834: ith Durham - My Happiness.MP4.lnk [74,306,156] 3,835: Love Is In The Air (1978).MP4.lnk [74,306,157] 3,836: Strictly Ballroom - End.MP4.lnk [74,306,157] 3,837: Love Is In The Air (1978).MP4.lnk [74,306,158] 3,838: ermany) - john paul young.MP4.lnk [74,306,160] 3,839: ermany) - john paul young.MP4.lnk [74,306,160] 3,840: Strictly Ballroom - End.MP4.lnk [74,306,161]

I don't use the page file. I have the max amount of memory for XP, 4 Gigs, and Windows works just fine without the page file taking up more mem. (I used a different remailer this time instead of pboxmix. I answered you a day ago, but the remailer system screwed up and seems to have lost my post.) I guess I'm going to have to go the TrueCrypt route. My main worry about all this is that the RIAA - Recording Industry Association of America, may be going after music uploaders/downloaders on Usenet after the finish off those who are downloading/uploading music on the Web. The bums are now trying to pass a law against us creating MP3 files from our own PURCHASED cds. Anyway, that's the reason I'm worried about this stuff.

Windows will not operate without at least a small one.

Screw 'eraser' programs. They're worthless, as installing and using Disk Investigator will prove to you. No matter what drive you stored your FLVs, MP3s, and MP4s music files on, the download tracks remain hidden and, seemingly untouchable, on your C: drive. - End of problem - |
