You have certainly all learned how to do some covering up here and got quite creative about it too. I'm sure it will come in handy to know all these things but...He is going to know that you're covering these things up. If you password protect at the bios level, he will certainly know that there are things on your computer that you don't want him to see. When he is unable to uncover the files that he had uncovered before, he will certainly be bright enough to realize that you've managed to hide or delete them somehow. What then??? If he has a wild imagination, he will think the absolute worst of you! He may accuse you of things you DIDN'T DO or DIDN'T SAY and then you will have no way to prove it! I know because this is exactly what I went through. If I were you, I would do a complete reformat on the computer which will erase anything that is currently there and make it a habit to not say or do anything on your computer that you wouldn't want him to know about. Allow him to snoop and find nothing except possibly you trying to save your marriage. Good luck.

I believe she is not trying to “hide” stuff as such but if he has access to her computer, then he can figure out her name on MB and “play” with her about what she is doing.<P>As Nina said earlier in this thread, “I just want to know how he did it, so I can safeguard myself. AND the reason I don't want him to know I'm at MB yet is because he may see that as a LB in itself, because he doesn't WANT to get back together. So I am Plan A'ing without his knowledge.“<P><BR>Also, I believe he is not living at home.<BR>------------------<BR>Prayers & God Bless!<BR>Chris<BR>For relationship info check out <A HREF="http://www.pcisys.net/~chriscal1/resources.html" TARGET=_blank>Marriage & Relationship Resources</A><p>[This message has been edited by Chris (CA123) (edited August 21, 2001).]

Exactly right Chris...did you read my other post about trashin my email???

Nina too,<P>I haven't read all your replies, so maybe someone has already mentioned this, but just in case...<P>When you delete your temporary internet files you delete the ones from the sites that are set up so your computer is "remembered". This means after deleting your temporary internet files you *would* have to then re-enter your information the next time you visit.<P>Juanita
