No wonder I don't know about them.

*.inv=Investor file backups. The person may have never used Money
Central, so may not have those. But since he can paste the string
in, no extra work on his part is required.

*rq.txt, *rs.txt would occur if he has done Ctrl+Shift+<Connect> for
downloads. This is probably much less likely, but if it were *my*
computer, *rq.txt, *rs.txt would exist. They would have account data
for particular FIs.

Your portfolio file from MSN Money, and the bank send and receive files if
any were ever saved.

Good point re. the other file types, to which I'd add *.mbf. Also beware if
you've ever exported report results to .CSV, .XML, etc.

What are *.inv, *rq.txt, *rs.txt???

I would do a File-> search of all drives entering the following line
into the file name box:
*.mn?, *.m1?, *.inv, *rq.txt, *rs.txt, *.qif, *.ofx

Delete, and perhaps wipe, any files found after copying the files
you want to keep to CD-R. I suggest burning to two different media
as redundancy. I would also delete temporary Internet files and
cookies in IE6 Tools-> InternetOptions. The cookies are not
Money-related AFAIK, but can be holding passwords for websites and
more.


You might choose to not delete sample.mny-- that is from the Money
install.

Now is probably not the greatest time to think of this problem. It's their
computer: they could have been watching your data all along.

The 98% solution: delete you .MNY data file(s) using some wipe file routine
like the one that comes with PGP; I suspect there are freeware tools out
there to do this as well.

The 99.5% solution: reformat the entire hard disk with some tool designed
for the purpose.

The 100% solution: too late. See first paragraph.
