Re: [Windows] Dr. Delete: Remove in-use files! From Marcus Jansson's web site »www.markusjansson.net/eienbid.html about 3/4 of the way down
"Index.dat files contain information about websites you have visited, things you have done, cookies you have received, etc. The main purpose, according to Microsoft, is that they speedup browsing by keeping this information nearby. The problem is, that they don’t delete when you clear your temporary internet files! This is because Windows locks those files. They need to be cleared BEFORE it has a chance of doing that."
I'm running a modification of it since I want to leave a few cookies (like DSLR for one), so I don't want cookies deleted that way. But I sure get the index and history with a batch file.
jdong, interesting....I did a search for index.dat and came up with 78!!!!!!!!!! hits.
Looks like 2 are live, one is a link to Marcus' site and the other 75 appear to be from jv16powertools (with a period before it .index.dat). I'll probe there some more, just found it interesting.
Looks like Dr.Delete is going to be fun to play with  Thank You!
