Slightly off-topic: Tracking Files

I checked the other machine, and it doesn't have those either. (Searched with Agent Ransack on a Win10 install.) Mind you, I don't use IE all that often. I'm sure they're related to Internet Explorer somehow, since they live in IE's temporary files directory. I also find them on my Win7-32 system. I do NOT find them on my XP or Win10 systems. Hmmmm... I just fired up IE on this Win7-64 computer and I guess it's the first time since I built the computer last December, because I got the prompt asking me if I wanted IE use "recommended settings". I had an idea that maybe COUNTERS.DAT had to do with running IE for the first time, but the files are still there and their dates are still 12/12/2017. I find other people asking on the web about what that file is. Nobody seems to know. It seems to be difficult to delete. |
