Quick questions on Mac OS X

[Souma]

Hi i'm new to Mac OS there are quite a few questions i would like to know regarding to this OS:

1) Where are cache files/Internet history files stored? (it would be good to provide a screenshot)
2) How to hide file/folder, how to do it?
3) Where are the cookies files stored? (it would be good to provide a screenshot)

Thanks in advance.

CLASSY!!!!

...and yeah, it is.
In safari, you can just go to Safari-> reset safari

bada bing, bada boom, no more evidence of porn.


History, you can view under the "history" in the menu bar, I'm not sure about cookies or the cache.

It actually depends on which browser you use. Safari is pretty good (and apparently just got better as of MacOS X 10.4.3) but Firefox and Mozilla Suite are also available for OSX. Camino is another great one -- it's a lot like Firefox but more "Mac native". Each browser will have its own locations for temp. internet files/cache, cookies, etc. But each also gives a way to clear such files from within the program.

In Safari, you can actually start browsing in "private browsing," which means that nothing will be stored at all. You can turn this on and off whenever you want.

As for hiding files, you can create a new disk image in disk utility, and then lock it with a password. Keep your files in this disk image, then just close it when you're done. That's where I keep my personal journal, works great.
