Re: Cache and Cookies Question

password

On CCleaner, you can UNCHECK "Saved Passwords" if you don't want them cleared, I use CCleaner several times a day but don't need to retype anything here ... I unchecked the box

Re: Cache and Cookies Question

Right.
Pretty much on your home computer, you ARE the Administrator.

Some people run computers under restricted account logins if they don't want children installing programs etc, but even then you can usually right click a program's icon and click "Run As" and then run it as Administrator (Libraries and public computers often run under restricted accounts like that)

Keep in mind that cookies are how many sites like this one keep track of who you are
And if you "save" the password its saved in the cookies

Everytime you come here ( and everywhere else ) you will have to type in your username and password

Cache is the images that are downloaded from the web and shown on your PC. As long as you have a fast connection you can delete it everyday or every hour if you want. I dont see the point but there is little down time.

That level of paranoia will make your web experiences less efficient and more time consuming

If you are ok with it then go for it
Ccleaner is a good choice

Actually

1) in CCleaner, you can uncheck cookie cleaning if you want to but

2) if you use Firefox instead of Internal Exploder, Firefox can save your passwords etc, without needing the "cookies"

CCleaner allows you to choose what to check/uncheck/clean so if you use internal exploder, you can uncheck cookies.
