@Orangeboy

if you take the time to read this overly long thread in full you will see that I do advise overwriting files when needed...this will make them go away as best as can be done....BUT...they are still there if one wants to spend the time and money (and its really not all that much when taken in the big picture) to get at them...its not star trek technology (which is of course at this time fiction), its real technology out there right now...let's say you were a political figure and someone was out to get you...they knew you did such things and were out to prove it...they could if they got a hold the your HDD...are you getting my drift, or do I need to pull out a sledgehammer and beat it into your skull?

@Remoc....it is possible to mistakenly download such stuff...misnamed files, files with names such as DSCN_1023..yep, I've come across a few with names like that when I'm blindly downloading images just for giggles to see what's out there...I have to say you would be surprised at some of the images people have in their shares (probably because they allowed LW to search their drive for media files to share)...the heart of your response is correct, but I just want to make it clear that it is possible to end up with a nasty file by total mistake...
