hi i am a student studying in high school and my class teacher wants to conduct a check on our laptop for games. can anyone tell me whether there are still traces of games after i uninstall them and how i can get rid of them? and if i cleared my history and deleted all my temporary internet files is it still possible to recover them?

ps: i'm not suppose to have any games on my computer

Well, it all depends on what kind of games. If they are games that you installed from a CD or something, you can usually find it in the "Add/Remove Programs" and uninstall it from there. Then there are internet games (Such as flash games from newgrounds). And the games that are built into windows, I wouldnt worry too much about them.

Now if this was my situation, and I physically owned the laptop (IE: Bought it myself). I would tell them to *#$% off. They would have no right in telling you that you cant have games installed on "YOUR" property. Just food for thought.
