The word "Stealth" came into use recently in reference to the "stealth" airplanes the United States government started to use back in the 80's. As for these "stealth" airplanes they are in fact not invisible, what they show is a very small imprint in hopes to fool a radar operator into thinking that what they see is nothing to worry about. I suppose the fact of the matter is that there is no magic way to keep anything totally invisible on a computer. I for one can live with this free software calling itself "stealth" cuz that's what it looks like to me... Just sayin :) Thank you to the person for their hard work in bring me this free "stealth" software that does what it says.

@Skwire,
You can easily clean up your temp left over, here is what I use...
run, CMD /C CD /D "%a_temp%" & PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 2000 & RMDIR /S /Q "%script_tempFolder%",,hide useErrorLevel

@checker: OK. IMHO: "Stealth" apps should clean up their temp files for being titled "stealth", this has nothing to do with leaving traces or hiding activities. Even more, "Portable" apps should clean up their temp files, what the "portable" apps I use, do. This "portable" app should not clean up, but it could.

@ misan: If you klick on the little "?"-icon behind "Stealth" ...

What makes an application "stealth"?

For the purpose for this website, "stealth" means when an application is launched, used and terminated properly, it does not leave behind any entries in the registry or filesystem. Certain exceptions are permitted. For example, registry entries that are created/updated by Windows for the application (eg. MRU entries for dialog boxes, DirectX entries for DirectX-based apps), or temp files created in the official "Temp" folders are not taken into consideration. Note: "Stealth" does not mean non-traceability! In fact, it is quite unlikely you can hide your activities on a Windows machine from a capable system administrator.

@misan: while that might be a privacy concern (have not tested it), I don't think that files in the system TEMP folder really break stealth -- at least for me; but then again, I'm not a stealth purist... ;)

Not stealth: %TEMP%\$$$$$_Spews_temp

I contacted the author:

Yes, certain programs I do that with so they'll start up a little more
quickly.

All the best,
