I don't see what the fuss is about. You set it to index what you want and don't set what you don't want. I don't see how it can be set up across networks, even a home network, yet.. and there are many other more advanced programs that allow companies to 'spy' on employees internet usage so even IF they installed it secretly on each machine , it isn't networked so each machine would have to be scanned for usage tracking .. what's the point when there are networked programs that give screen shots of exactly what each employee is looking at every minute of every day ? For home use , use passwords and the profile settings for each user and there is no cross indexing of it around that feature on XP anyway. What I REALLY would like to know is after you search and find info that you didn't know was still there I was SHOCKED to see how much I thought was untracable that is still on my system, how to delete it leaving no trace , directly from the search page , i see no option for that and THAT would be a very cool feature. Anyone find a delete option on it ? I suppose after locating emails, logs, websites etc , I can manually go to the location and delete it , but in doing that does it leave a trace of the deletion that is then indexed ? That is my main concern. I am new at geekdom , not too nerdish , working on it, Friday night at 12:23 and i'm sitting here reading this site, so that's a good start I'd say :) I am wondering how, short of wiping out my whole hard drive and starting over to get RID of the stuff I found is still there after installing the google indexing program today. I'm stunned and want to get rid of alot of it , there has to be an easier way, you'd think right ? If it is all right there on a quick search , why not an option to shred it ? If there is and I missed it, someone please clue me in . thanks ! AND if anyone knows how to stop windows messenger from logging in at random without being asked or even showing the icon or contact list anywhere , PLEASE let me know, I have been puzzled by this phenomenon for months now, I know it's an issue and should install the XP upgrade which i beleive fixes that however, i am burnt so not into figuring out other issues at the moment. I am not referring to MSN messenger, it's the windows messenger that simply logs me on randomly and I don't even know i'm logged in , just suddenly a 'buddy' starts saying hey and THAT is more of a privacy issue at times than googling your computer and maybe your spouse will find the name of someone who you don't even know who IM'd you b/c the damn thing logged you on for no apparent reason ;) hey it happens.. Anyway, apparently there is no way to stop it , i've tried most everything.. annoying.. i'm new and it's late forgive my babbling.. i just don't see what the fuss is about , there are SO many privacy issues, this is just a non issue compared to most. I just want to know how to stop Windows messenger and how to use the google indexing to find and destroy all the old files i am finding and want to get rid of , is that too much to ask ?? TY!!!
