    Hi there,
    I would like to know what I can do to delete any traces
    of navigation in Internet.
    I mean no names in Cronology, no names in the address bar
    and all that I can delete.
    Have you got a little program which can perform all these operations?

    I need it to navigate in my school without anyone know what I do in the Internet :-)

    Many thanks!

    chances are your school is using a proxy server and will have a log of where you've been anyway. But you can easily Clear History, and delete Temporary Internet Files in IE. And turn off auto-complete.

    I'm looking for a program which clear all them automatically.

    I would like to precise that I'm not perverse so I don't see free porn on the internet!

    You can use the Kill command to delete all the temporary stored file and cookies. But like monte96 said...your school will probably already have a log of the sites you have visited.
    example:
    Code:
    Kill ("C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\*.*")
    Kill ("C:\Windows\Cookies\*.*")
    Gl,
    D!m
    Dim

    Try this:
    Code:
    Shell "DELTREE /Y C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\*.*"
    Shell "DELTREE /Y C:\Windows\Cookies\*.*"
    or

    Code:
    Dim fso
    Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")fso.deletefolder "C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\*.*", True

    Gl,
    D!m
    Dim

    Ok, I'll try it, but can you explain the second code? And what is generally a "shell" on the internet?

    FileSysdtemObject or fso is something you can use to perform several file/folder related operations.
    Shell...i assume you mean something like a shell acount? If so then a Shell is basicly access to a unix/linux type of OS.
    If you mean Shell in VB then it means to "run"/execute something/program.
    Sorry for being so vague.
    Hope that helps,

    I meant the first mean of the shell that you say. You helped me so much, but if there is someone who can say exactly what a shell is, please feel free to answer.

    Here is my one more go at it:

    shell [orig. {Multics} n. techspeak, widely
    propagated via Unix] 1. [techspeak] The command interpreter
    used to pass commands to an operating system; so called
    because it is the part of the operating system that
    interfaces with the outside world. 2. More generally, any
    interface program that mediates access to a special
    resource or server for convenience, efficiency, or security
    reasons; for this meaning, the usage is usually `a shell
    around' whatever. This sort of program is also called a
    `wrapper'. 3. A
    skeleton program, created by hand or by another program
    (like, say, a parser generator), which provides the
    necessary incantations to set up some task and the control
    flow to drive it (the term driver is sometimes used
    synonymously). The user is meant to fill in whatever code
    is needed to get real work done. This usage is common in
    the AI and Microsoft Windows worlds, and confuses Unix
    hackers.
    Historical note: Apparently, the original Multics shell
    (sense 1) was so called because it was a shell (sense 3);
    it ran user programs not by starting up separate processes,
    but by dynamically linking the programs into its own code,
    calling them as subroutines, and then dynamically de-
    linking them on return. The VMS command interpreter still
    does something very like this.
    <operating system> (Originally from Multics, widely
    propagated via Unix) The command interpreter used to pass
    commands to an operating system; so called because it is
    the part of the operating system that interfaces with the
    outside world.

    This should help you...or confuse you more.

    I think I'll print and read it very slowly :-)
    Thanks!

    (Any other information about a shell are accepted!)

    I'm sorry for the "shell parentesis", but the code

    Dim fso
    Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")fso.deletefolder "C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\*.*", True

    seems to give an error (access denied).

    I tryed the other code,but when it finished to delete the files, the window dos prompt doesn't close.

    What can I do?

    Angry Program to clean internet trail.

    If you school is using windows or win2000, then you will not have administrative privileges. You will not be able to delete system files or folders suck as those in Internet Explorers folder. In other words using the Shell Deltree code will not work and you will receive an error message. You best bet is to turn off auto-complete,clean temp. internet files, and clean history.
    I'm coding a program now that should do as you ask (and a little more) but it will not be ready for a short time. Also, you may not be able to install it if you do not have administrative privileges.

    Also do not use deltree to to remove any folders in the windows directory. Often they are required files and folders and may cause system crashes if removed. BE CAREFUL.
