I finally did it.

Twice. It's like, every time I get caught up surfing porn for hour after hour (which is basically every night), I get sidetracked. I start on one site and want to get every good movie or picture gallery off that page, but when I open up individual galleries, I usually see that I can find a back door into that site, and find more from the same company or of the same genre. Or, I get a pop-up window leading me to another porn directory site, and see something REALLY good there, so I start going off into that direction. Meanwhile in the back of my head it's bugging me that I have more and more windows open - usually it goes up toward about 40 windows - and am getting further and further behind.

Then when the wife comes downstairs I have to close all the precious windows; well, I can't do that - how wasteful that would be to squander all that good porn! So, I open a text file, cut and paste the URLs into a big list, add notes as needed, and save it. Then I do the ritual:

Tools, Internet Options, Delete Cookies, Delete Files, Clear History, OK

Open History and check. Half the time it doesn't clear everything.
Check the URL bar by typing in the beginnings of porn site names to see whether it autocompletes. About a third of the time it doesn't clear everything.

Go into Windows Explorer, then go to C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Local Settings\History and delete everything

Then go into C:\Documents and Settings\default default\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files and delete whatever's in there. About a third of the time, everything wasn't cleared, so you have to delete everything manually.

Start, Settings, Taskbar and Start Menu, Start Menu, Customize, Clear, OK, OK.

In Internet Explorer, do File, Save As, and see where it tries to save the web page. To a porn folder? Time to either rename the folder (even just add a 2 after the name) so the OS can't find it any more when someone else goes to save a page, or, browse to your default folder (My Documents) and save a page there, then delete that - and if you don't want evidence of that page in your recent documents, time to empty the recycle bin, then another Start, Settings, Taskbar and Start Menu, Start Menu, Customize, Clear, OK, OK.

Now right click on an image. Where's that try to get saved to? Same deal.

And finally try it for a link, try to Save Target As, and check that out and resolve as appropriate.

Did you use Realplayer? Tools, Preferences, General, Clear History, OK

Check whatever mpeg player you use too. Winamp? Windows Media Player? About half the time they remember what the last file you viewed was. Better play an MP3, then close it. And check your library and Remove any porn video files from Library.

Fuckin' A!




Well, the other night I actually got caught up and scored all the porn windows open, I mean it was a ton of them, it was the entire toolbar at the bottom of the screen, filled with windows, three lines high! Must've been like 45 windows. I didn't know what to do with myself. I think I actually went upstairs and tried to spend time with the wife in bed, but I can't remember.

I did it again the other night, and really have just done it again a third time today.

Today I browsed less, and researched more. Granted, I got sidetracked in a big way, but I got caught back up, and I sorted porn for an hour or more. I'll write more later, about what I was researching. Two guesses. Hell, you know my by now. One guess.
