Sorry, I have to write again. I have just found the information about the behaviors in explorer that could be a privacy problem. userData Behavior http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/behaviors/reference/behaviors/userData.asp saveSnapshot Behavior http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/behaviors/reference/behaviors/savesnapshot.asp Persistence Methods in explorer http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/persistence/overview.asp Microsoft should: - Gave more information to customers about this feature and their privacy issues. - Place the option to deactivate the feature near the cookies options. - Give an "alert level". Currently userData could only be activated or disabled. Also remains to check if the saveSnapshot data is kept in the same location of userData (in Windows 2000, Spanish version C:\Documents and Settings\Administrador\Datos de programa\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\UserData\0XBQ9WXY) and is deactivated from the same security option as userData. -- \|||||||/ Guillermo Pérez Pérez < o o > - bisho () onirica com \ L / - bisho () eurielec etsit upm es -oOOo-------oOOo- Onírica: Análisis, diseño e implantación de soluciones informáticas http://www.onirica.com
