hey Lube, (or any other tech savvy poster!!!)! this is a response to your thread on dvd-download. you made a good point about DVD bookmarks and leaving a "trail" on my laptop. i'm a not a technology "native" and never thought that the dvd bookmarks stayed on the laptop beyond my watching the dvd. speaking of which, i do have a question for you regarding that, my MAC guys tell me that the bookmark is merely a listing of titles and possibly actors/actresses and these are found under preferences. not too many of my titles have really obvious porn names (i don't do teenaged anything for example). about these bookmarks, i looked for them on the G4 iBook i was using and couldn't find them, any suggestions?
most of my advd watching is done from a home laptop & the laptop from work i described isn't my primary machine, its a loaner thank goodness. nevertheless, i want to "sanitize" to the extent that i can.
oh and FYI.....i go nowhere near adult stuff with my office laptop...with my official office laptop i don't even click on links to my ADM search items that hit my gmail twice a week and these come in about as fast as all the SPAM related to viagra etc. so even that is covered to an extent. anyway, any MAC users response would be great, but Lube you seem to be an expert so I'd like to hear from you!

**This should likely get moved to Tech Talk forum**
This really depends on the OS involved. You said for Mac at the end of your message so I'll stick to there.
On the Mac, erasing the previously opened/viewed items in the menu list is pretty easy for all OSX apps as you've got the "Clear Menu" option at the bottom of each and every File menu for "Open Recent." Click that and the menu clears and is deleted (empty trash thereafter as well which does some basic cleanup, although these are system files). Bookmarks on the Mac are a different animal and you'd have to had manually created a bookmark to have one there. But assuming you have (I suggest you don't for porn DVD's) then go into Window/Bookmarks and you'll see the ability to edit bookmarks you've made, including deleting them.
Now the HISTORY of all DVD's you ever watched are stored outside the application menu's. I'm assuming you are running Leopard but I think Panther kept the files in the same area. In Leopard, your DVD viewing history is stored in User Name>Library>Application Support>DVD Player>Settings. If you go into there (visible via Finder) and delete all files present EXCEPT "Global Settings.enc", you'll no longer get the prompt of "would you like to continue watching this previously viewed DVD blah blah blah" prompt. Your history is wiped. Make sure to empty trash when done as well. Note that you'll whack your bookmarks also in doing this so I only recommend wiping it if you are sharing that laptop.
This obviously assumes you are using a shared Mac. If you are the Admin account on the Mac, you don't really need to worry about this too much.
