Network Cleaning

Wanna know where you have been?

For Win 7 computers,

open regedit

navigate to

HKLM/software/Microsoft/windows nt/currentversion/networklist/nla/cache

It shows places that I haven't been for over a year. CCleaner should offer to clear them.

Next

HKLM/software/Microsoft/windows/currentversion/homegroup/networklocations

might have some information that would be better unshared

Next, more information about where the laptop has been is at

HKLM/software/Microsoft/windows nt/currentversion/networklist/profiles

also look at the two categories in profiles (next major key)...again, there is a trail.

Another worrisome key to laptop tracing is at

HKLM/software/Microsoft/windows nt/currentversion/networklist/nla/wireless

However, I cannot decode all of those keys, but I suspect that a trail is in there.

Those are used to store WIFI credentials and recognise known safe networks. Removing them could be very inconvenient to someone who uses their computer in public places.
