Use the Search command. Click Start, a small
window appears, and click Search
A new window appears usually with a little animated puppy at the bottom.
The window has a list of actions on the left side, click the third item "=> All
files and folders"
A new window appears with a form to fill in.
 |
In the top field, type in *.jpg
Virtually all Internet images are of a type called JPG
("Jpeg").
Leave the "A word or phrase" field blank
In the "Look in" location field, you want to specify the
C: drive in most cases. It is OK to select "Local Hard Drives" too. Use
the down arrow on the right side to make your selections.
In "What size is it" click the circle symbol with 2 down
arrows, and then click the Specify size in KB" selection.
I usually type in "15" in the "at least" entry form.
Finally, click the Search button |
When images start to appear, and you should
see plenty of them, click the View word of the top of the Search window. In the
list that appears, click Thumbnails.
Be patient, let the computer search for 5 to 10
minutes. Then scroll down through the images to see if there is any pornography
or questionable images on your computer.
If you find something "interesting" you can
right-click the image and then left click Properties.
Properties will tell you when the image was saved
(that is, when the website was visited), and you should be able to find out who
viewed it based on the location. For example, the Properties may show:
C:\Documents and
Settings\Andy\Local
Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\JYKW4R2\hottie.jpg
From that long file location, we can assume that
Andy was the user who looked at
the "hottie" picture.
I can help you for a more detailed investigation,
especially if you are an employer concerned about employees viewing pornography
on company computers.
