Weird?

A very strange thing just happened! I shut down IE8 and a few seconds later
restarted it, then it asked me a question. It said something like "do you
want to start a new session, or restore the previous one"? For some reason,
I clicked on the option to restore the previous one, and then FOUR browser
windows opened up and each one showed me some site I'd been in before....'a
week ago! I saw that the 'Back' button in 'each' window was active, and I
clicked it many times (in each window) only to see ALL of the 50 to 60
websites I'd viewed last week, all vids, all picures etc, in the same order
I first viewed them all. This was scary enough, but the thing is, I have
cleaned out my Temporary Internet Files & Temp folder a half dozen times in
the past week, so how the hell did IE 'know' what to display? Is it storing
data/info somewhere on my PC that I don't know about? How can I stop it
doing this?

Use anti-spyware tools, use HiJack This, etc.
And DONT use I.E.

It got it from those web sites of course. You didn't clean your history
and that's what stored the URLS. Nothing else is required except the request
to open those sites. Which was the "restore session". Cookies keep track of
what you do *on* a site, not which sites you go to.

weird? really relevant subject header - ..
here is what is happening/happened.
it did that becoz ie8 [aka iexplore] didnt shut down properly.
from snooping in with taskmanager over time this is what i've noticed.
say in ie7 you had 1 window open with several tabs, it would show 1 iexplore
instance in processes tab showing.
from ie8 onwards if you have 1 window open with, eg., 3 tabs there will be 3
or 4 separate instances of iexplore in processes tab showing.
it takes longer than a few seconds for that to shut down if you had a long
session open and its eaten up a load of memory!
presumably this new way of splitting up processes serves a safety purpose?
so if ie8 is shut down properly and re-opened it wont do that, instead you
can select the prev session if you want.

Another good one.
Ever hear of "tracking cookies".
Keep'em coming. :-)
