Using ShellBagsView from NirSoft Utilities I've just found out that Windows is storing the names of visited directories together with things like window position, even for directories deleted many years ago.
I've tried to remove this information using Piriform CCleaner, I checked the box "Windows Size/Location Cache", but it doesn't work.
- Is deleting all the registry entries safe?
- Is there a better way?
- What additional threats to privacy should I expect in Windows?
2No easy way to do this, windows stores user tracks everywhere, you might explain why you want to do this, are you selling the PC? If you are selling it, I would erase/overwrite the entire disk and re-install the OS. – Moab – 2011-09-10T15:13:25.100
I don't have a real use case now, I just want to know what can be done. – maaartinus – 2011-09-11T12:12:57.247
