How to delete content.ie5 material without losing the history?

<< < (3/3)

Aloone_Jonez:
I was asking that because many newer users don't remember MS-DOS and as a result have never needed to play around with the command line before.

I was just wondering if anyone here fits this description.

I don't use the command line anymore, I can see why it can be easier sometimes to use the command line for some tasks but in my opinion the command line interface is truely obsolete. I have never bothered to learn the UNIX command line even though I acept it's better than the Windows command line, I just can't be fucked why bother? the GUI way is so easy!

solemnwarning:
i learned a lot of dos commands, when i started using bash it took for ages to use ls not dir rm not del ect

Aloone_Jonez:
The thing that gets me is the / is used instead of \ in unix, and am I the only person who prefers drive letters?
Lots of unix people slagged of DOS for using drive letters ut I liked them.

The problem was you could never rely on drive letters to be the same and had little control over their allocation.

we will need to have a 3rd party program. The windows file explorer.exe 'hides' the content.ie5 file from the user, because well, it is full of shit.

The program to be used is TrackerV3 and is available here:
http://www.trackerv3.com/

locate the 'search' on the bottom of the window and type in (you guessed it)
content.ie5
and usually more than one folder will come up. (esp. if you are using XP)
I don't think it is possible to delete the content.ie5 folder itself (or is that the index.dat) when windows is running because it is protected, only the folders inside of it. the folder names inside should resemble jibberish like sl4xjx3 or some sort. delete all those and stuff.

we can also automate this task with a handy program called 'xen' and is available from here:
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/mrx9000/downloads/xen.zip
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/mrx9000/

run it and press 'x' or was it 'z' ? this will do all IE clean up, mru, defrag , scandisk all automated without user intervention.

now that you've covered your tracks and cleaned up your system I recommed that you start with FireFox IE
http://firefoxie.net/
 because it is easy for newbies coming from internet explorer. and remember,


hope this helps!
