4. Sorry if this is OT or if this is a long post I felt that this
experience sharing is essential on this list , because there may be other
users who may be blisfully un aware of this problem of temp files and my
documents not being cleaned regularly
This is not related to gnupg, but anyway:
It also depends on the version of Office and Windows where temp files
are stored (e.g. the user's %TEMP% directory). Beside temp files there
are also swap files, hibernation files and maybe more to take into
account.
If you want to ensure that confidential files are not stored
unencrypted, you should look for full drive encryption on all used
drives.
Thanks for the quick revert. What I wish to convey is that _even_ if I
encrypt all my files and drives, _if_ I open one of them while on a
networked environment I could potentially create a loophole i.e. the un
encrypted version may have a temp file that is saved on a network drive ...
?
I felt this is a major loophole to be plugged by anyone who works on a
networked machine
I did not know this. I did not think on those lines until recently. When I
thought of it I wanted to share it here
