Open your Preferences window [Edit > Preferences].  Select [Privacy &
Security > Private Data].  That is where you select what you mean by
private data.

Had to say that for the wise guys who I know will come back with that

Now - What specifically does that clear (ctrl-shft-del) do ?

Is it dangerous to do - can I lose important stuff, change my setup by
using it.

I have Pref-Bar and do the Clear location - cache - history - DL - cookies
buttons. Does "Clear private data" do MORE than that ?

I do that in the event some intruder gets on my Compuker when I leave 
the house
and he/she tries to get to my online banking or Tax files w/o passwords, 
etc.

I know that anyone with much compuker knowledge knows how to get there,
but what I do may stop  your average break-in clodhopper.

Paranoid, huh ?

Press the F1 function key on your keyboard, or use Help > Help Contents 
from the Menu.


Type "Clear" without quotes into the Search Bar.

Select "Clearing Private Data".

Select "Types of Private Data".

What does "Clear private data" do ?

OK..."Clear private data" in the TOOLS menu - clears your private data.
Had to say that for the wise guys who I know will come back with that

Now - What specifically does that clear (ctrl-shft-del) do ?

Is it dangerous to do - can I lose important stuff, change my setup by
using it.

I have Pref-Bar and do the Clear location - cache - history - DL - cookies
buttons. Does "Clear private data" do MORE than that ?

I do that in the event some intruder gets on my Compuker when I leave 
the house
and he/she tries to get to my online banking or Tax files w/o passwords, 
etc.

I know that anyone with much compuker knowledge knows how to get there,
but what I do may stop  your average break-in clodhopper.

Paranoid, huh ?
