How do I erase where I've been--specifically NSFW sites?
Beyond erasing cookies and temp files what else is there?

Your History files, located in "local settings" the same place as your temp, temp internet files, and cookies

There's even more: read Microsuck | Microsoft's Really Hidden Files for the details. I'm assuming you are using IE on Windows.

If you switch to Firefox, all that information is in one place and easily accessed, and there are privacy extensions that can clear it out with one click of a button.

Google "Spider Index.dat"

Download the Spider program and that will clear the hidden index.dat folder which keeps a record of every website you have been to since you have last reformatted the computer.

Whoa, I never knew about that. Is there a way to view the file?

You can also use eraser to clear these files, just create a scheduled job that runs on every reboot.
