If you are running Windows98 SE right now, you should know that in the C:\Windows directory is a file called Printers.txt.
What ?
You didn't know it was there ?
Its YOUR computer !

Someone can have tens of thousands of files on their computer and not necessarily know what's in those files or even know they exist. We can install programs on our computers and in the case of Windows they may install MANY .dll files in various places and make all sorts of changes to the registry database that we are completely unaware of.
Someone can auto-download in BULK tens of thousands of porno pictures from USENET newsgroups and all of them will be automagically named and sorted into directories (folders). They may well assume that all the porno pictures are of big-breasted women but often in USENET newsgroups, due to cross-posting from other newsgroups and spamming, someone could very easily end up with the most vile rubbish on their computer and NOT know it at all.

The real problem comes when you deliberately save things to CD's, floppy's etc. Like Westerfield did.

That seems to conveniently escape people. Look at Dusek.
