CryptNetUrlCache - What is it?

My concern is leaving a 'surfing trail' on computers that are not under my
control. IE allows one to delete user data in the form of cookies, history,
etc., but some of the same info remains in Vista 64 under:

C:/user/AppData/LocalLow/Microsoft/CryptnetUrlCache/Content and /MetaData

I believe that these files have something to do with "Certificates," but
exactly what is all this good information, when is it used, and what are the
implications of purging these files?

No major implications at all. Like all 'caches' they're just for speeding
things up slightly. Get rid of 'em if they bug you.

These are actually system level files that one cannot change or remove. They are a securely encrypted copy of your entire windows and internet browsing history on the system. Beware, even after you clear the internet cache and history in IE, netscape or firefox, a copy exists forever.

Actually you can change, remove, or do whatever else you like with them.
