Sora96 Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I Analyze the Computer, and a lot of the time Internet Explorer files are found like history and temp. But i haven't used it. As i use Google Chrome. So why is that sometimes IE Files are found, when its not even being used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted July 10, 2010 Moderators Share Posted July 10, 2010 Actually you're always using Internet Explorer even if you never open it yourself. It's why so many software titles state they require Internet Explorer in their minimum system requirements. Reason being many programs that have an online updater/automatic update component use the IE Temporary Internet Files folder to download the files into, and some will even cookie you in the process, etc. You'll also get History items just browsing through your own computer.

Aethec Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Also, software like Windows Help use the IE rendering engine, thus creating some temporary files. Piriform French translator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
