My concern is to have a completely "clean" computer. Even if I clear all
the history , passwords, cache, etc. manually or use a program to do the
same, these entries remain in the registry. I want to know that I can
navigate the web without leaving traces of my user ID or PW behind, and it
is disturbing to me that Windows leaves this hole exposed.
