!Clear - Recent File List Remover
I've been thinking about privacy on computers lately.
It's not like I have tons of stuff to hide, but a lot of people I know are paranoid about other people seeing what they've been doing and where they've been going on their computer.
I didn't like the idea that you can't get rid of the virtual tracks on your own computer very easily. This has prompted me to make "!Clear". It's a simple NSIS program that gets rid of a lot of common tracks on your computer, like the Wordpad and Paint Brush recent files list. It also removes the list of file links in the start menu "Documents" folder.
I also made a "lite" version. It only removes the Wordpad, Pbrush, and Winzip 7.X lists, and the Start Menu's "Documents" folder file links.
What makes these so handy is that they have no popup-box. When you run one, it's completely silent about it's actions. You don't get a box asking if you want to do it, it just happens as soon as the program is run.
These have only been tested on Windows 95 and 98, and Internet Explorer 5 and 6.
Full version currently removes Recent File Lists in:
Wordpad
Pbrush.exe
Winzip 7.X
Internet Explorer 5 & 6(Removes typed URLs from address bar pull-down)
Getright(Recent Finished Files and URLs)
The Start Menu "Documents" Folder
Here are the files you can download:
!Clear - Full Version
!Clearlt - Lite Version
If there are any programs' Recent File Lists you want me to add or any registry entries you want me to include, don't hestitate to ask. Even if I can't get the information myself, I can ask for the registry entries/.INI entries of the programs from this page.
