Windows tracks left on your computer
Windows Temporary Folders (Windows Temporary files directory)
Windows uses the Temporary folders (Temp folder) to store Windows and other programs temporary files. Whenever a user starts any application Windows creates some Temporary Files so that application will run faster. Windows locks that file until the application is closed. This takes a lot of hard drive space, as it does not always get deleted automatically when the application is closed. So Windows Temporary files directory can become cluttered and contain files from programs you no longer have installed or files which may violate your privacy by tracking what you have done on your PC.
Windows Recent Documents list
Windows stores a list of the last 15 document files you have recently opened and worked with. Anyone who has access to your computer can see this list and open any of the items simply by clicking on the name of the document.
Clipboard
When you copy anything using the Windows copy command, the information is stored in the clipboard. We often use copy/paste commands while working with logins, passwords, credit card numbers and other secure information. But Clipboard information can be easily seen by anyone who can access your computer or by the web sites you visit.
Start Menu Run History (Windows Run History/recently run programs list)
Windows stores a list of programs you have run using the Run option in the Start Menu. So you do not need to type if you want to run it again, but it will also let others to see the list of programs you have run.
Erase Windows Search "Files & Folders" History (Find History files)
When you use "Search" option in the Start Menu, Windows keeps a list of the last files you searched for and the items you searched for in those files. And this search history will be visible to anyone who begins a new search. Windows "Files & Folders" search history can be easily seen if you open the "Search results" window (Start -> Search -> Files & Folders). Even if this information isn't shown in the "Search results" windows, it is kept in a Windows registry and can be easily viewed. Using ClearAllHistory you can erase Windows search "Files & Folders" history with one click.
Windows Search "Computers" History (Find Computer History)
After you have searched for an item using Windows Explorer, Windows will automatically keep a record of the search. And this search history will be visible to anyone who begins a new search. "Computers" search history can be seen if you open the Search results window (Start menu -> Search -> Computers). Even if this information isn't shown in the "Search results" windows, it is kept in a Windows registry and can be easily viewed. Using ClearAllHistory you can erase Windows search "Computers" history with one click.
Start Menu open programs history (Windows Explorer UserAssist Data)
Every time you open a program from the Start Menu, the date and number of times you used it is stored in an encrypted database. Windows keeps full run history under the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\UserAssist. If you don't clear UserAssist data, it can compromise your privacy and security and increase the number of entries in the registry slowing Windows down. Using ClearAllHistory you can easily clear the Start Menu open programs history (Windows Explorer UserAssist Data).
Common Dialog History List (ComDlg32\OpenSaveMRU and ComDlg32\LastVisitedMRU)
Most applications use the Windows-provided dialogs for open/save operations. The CommonDialog control provides a standard set of dialog boxes for operations such as opening and saving files, setting print options, and selecting colors and fonts. The ComDlg32 control which is used in many applications saves its own set of history information separate from other Windows history. Every time you open/save a file Windows keeps a record of this activity - Windows records the names of files that you open or save. So, very often when you choose "open" or "save" item from application's file menu, Windows displays a drop-down list of your most recently used files or opens the certain directory. Even if these names are not shown in the file open/save dialog of particular application, they are kept in a Windows registry and can be viewed.
View preferences for desktop and windows you opened (Streams and StreamMRU)
Windows stores up to 28 entries containing view preferences for the desktop and windows that you open in a most-recently-used (MRU) list. When you close a window, the view preferences (size, location) for each window are saved in a subkey of the Streams key. When the desktop or one of the windows is no longer included in the MRU list, the desktop or a window uses the default settings the next time the desktop or a window is refreshed. When you make changes to the desktop or a window, the view preferences for the desktop or a window are moved to the top of the MRU list.
