Erasing personal information

[fogal]

I am using the folowing to delete personal files via command prompt. However, when I use sites such as google, it still remembers what I had typed into the search criteria. How can I also erase this information?

Can the Domain Administrator still know about personal information, if the below files are erased?

Thanks in advance.

@echo off
echo please wait while modifications are made are made to your system...

del /F /S /Q C:\docume~1\%USERNAME%\cookies\*.*

del /F /S /Q C:\docume~1\%USERNAME%\locals~1\temp\*.*

The information you are talking about is stored in a file called index.dat which cannot be deleted (even by batch files). I think you can do it from dos (if you are using the FAT32 file system). To do this, boot into msdos, cd into the cookies directory and delete the file. You also may have to change the atributes before you can delete it (attrib -s, attrib -r).

If you downloaded the google search bar and you want to delete the history of things you searched for, you can click on the word google on the search bar and a drop down menu will appear. There is an option to erase the search history.
