PrivacyBuddy is a
revolutionary system history cleaning application that automates
the mundane task of cleaning up your temporary files, internet cache,

want to clean your system. PrivacyBuddy eliminates the tedious nature
of keeping your system track free with a few simple configuration
steps after installation.
PrivacyBuddy is perfect for anyone who cares about their privacy
and dislikes having to manually perform the cleaning process. We

software to help you in your battle to keep your privacy, but we

Windows Specific Tracks:
Windows specific tracks include your recent documents list, Index.Dat
files that stores computer use information, registry entries that contain
tracks, Recycle Bin files, Temporary files, and more. More specific information
on what Windows specific tracks are cleaned is listed below.
- Index.Dat Track Files - Index.dat Files are spread out in different
areas of your system and are locked and maintained by various different
Windows processes. They record many different things such as your
URL history and opened documents, etc. PrivacyBuddy securely deletes
these files when your computer is shutdown at your option.
- Find Computer Recent Search List - The Find Computer Recent Search
List is maintained by windows and keeps the most recently searched
for computer names in your registry. PrivacyBuddy deletes these tracks.
- Media Player Recent File List - Media Player keeps a record of
each file you open and displays your most recent list when you click
the "File" menu in it's interface. PrivacyBuddy deletes
this list.
- Recent Open Dialog List - Every time you open a document using
an "Open" dialog, windows stores your most recently selected
files. PrivacyBuddy deletes this list.
- Recent Save Dialog List - Every time you save a document using
a "Save" dialog, windows stores your most recently selected
files. PrivacyBuddy deletes this list.
- Recent Run Dialog List - When you click on your start menu and
then choose the "Run" dialog, windows maintains a list of
your most recently typed "Run" commands. PrivacyBuddy deletes
this list.

list. This list generally has a limit of files it will record to before
it begins overwriting entries. PrivacyBuddy deletes this list.
- System Temporary Directory - Whenever an application needs to extract
temporary files, there is a default directory in which those temporary
files are stored. Because of the size of applications are ever increasing,
this directory can become quite large and use up a considerable amount
of space on your hard drive. PrivacyBuddy cleans the files out of
this directory on shutdown.

such as the XP StartMenu "Pin List" that lists your commonly
opened applications for easy access in the registry. PrivacyBuddy
