   which hidden folders are you referring to? The browser cache files are   
   readily found, and cleared.  Caching of web pages is a feature of all   
   modern web browsing programs, including Mozilla, Opera, Netscape etc.   
   Cookie files are also a typical feature of web browsers.   
      
   I do agree that the execution of code in response to a click on a URL   
   is annoying at best.

   | Granted. Macro-viruses, email viruses and any other that a user   
   knowingly   
   | invites in are their own fault. But a virus that gets in via an RPC   
   hole or   
   | just by clicking a URL in a browser is totally unacceptable. I'm not   
   saying   
   | they are all deliberate, but I see Microsoft's policies of storing   
   deleted   
   | items indefinitely in well hidden folders as good reason to suspect   
   that   
   | they also have means to access that information (after reading an   
   article on   
   | where to find them and being astounded at what I found, it took my   
   computer   
   | over 20 minutes to delete stuff I thought I'd alread deleted). Maybe   
   I'm   
   | just paranoid, but I still think some of the "holes" may be   
   engineered   
   | access.
