For anyone that uses yahoo email... do you know how to prevent people from going back and seeing what files you have sent?
My teen daughter has told me that she can view this anytime she wants by doing a search for "show letter"? or something to that effect.
She says she can also view any profiles that I have looked at. I hate that my daughter is smarter than me on computers, but so be it.. so somebody please help!
Thanks

Hi Tayna,
What operating system are you using on your computer?
To find out, look in CONTROL PANEL in Windows Explorer. [Alternatively search for system.cpl in the windows directory using Explorer, and double-click on it]. Once you've got the Control Panel open, click on SYSTEM, then look under the GENERAL tab. It should show you your operating system and its version.
Depending on your operating system, you may be able to set up your own profile, which no-one else can access, even using the same computer, as long as they don't have administrator privileges.
You need to set yourself up as the computer administrator and everyone else as users. This can be done in Windows 2000, NT, and xP, but I'm not sure about other, older, operating systems.
I look forward to your response [Operating system] and hope to direct you to a successful conclusion thereafter, but it can be a bit confusing!
Best regards, Bill.
