Wheres the Cache?
– Another place that your web trail is recorded is the cache folder–a temporary storage area for recently visited pages and images — the cache is there so that repeatedly visited websites will show up quicker when you reload them in your browser. If you don’t want people sitting down at your computer to read your cache files, they should be deleted (or stored on an ecrypted disk – see our encryption section for more info). Note, however, that on slower machines with slow connections, this will result in a noticeable decrease in the speed your computer brings up previously visited web pages. To delete your cache you can do one of two things: 1) Trash your cache files at the end of each browsing session. The exact location of the cache folder depends on decisions you made when you installed your browser. However, N3’s cache folder is probably C:\Program Files\Netscape\Navigator\Cache, N4’s is C:\Program Files\Netscape\Communicator\Users\username\Cache, and IE’s is C:\Windows\Temporary
