How does IE6 find my name in my computer and then puts a Cookie with my name and web site visited in my Cashe file ? I dont want my name identified to every website I visit .

That is normal, It happens all the time.. Do this go to tool>internetoption>advance>under security, check Do not save encrypted pages to disk and check Empty temporary internet folder when browser closes.... Also I would under history put a 0 this will remove anysites visited after each time you close your browser....

Tank you , however that didnt stop a website from identifing me by real name . And I didnt sign into the site , I just looked at it . And a Cookie with my Real Name appeared . My Computer is registered as Dell Customer and My Logon is Anyuser . Although My Logon Name is ANYUSER , In Windows explorer the My Documents File is still named My real name . It seems renaming the Logon doesnt change the previous user , it just makes a Shortcut back to the original users name .
