hi pw,
i want to clarify that we are talking about the same file, or more accurately, the same folder.
the index.dat file on my machine resides in the c:\windows\cookies folder. it does not reside in the c:\windows\temporary internet files folder.
also, kaycee and i were discussing the content.ie5 folder that resides in the temporary internet files folder, and the oddly named folders within the content.ie5 folder.
reason i restate all of this is that your post seems to indicate that deleting the index.dat file will get rid of the above-mentioned content.ie5 folder and its contents, but that is not the case. (you don't mention the content.ie5 folder specifically, but you are replying to kaycee's post [ #reply-14055698 ] in which the topic is the content.ie5 folder's contents.) in fact, i wanted to ask you if you knew if it was advisable to go ahead and delete the content.ie5 folder, without causing problems? but i see that we need to all get on the same page first before we can do much more with this.
of course, it may well be that i am the one who is lagging behind here... in which case i promise to do extra work to catch up. <g3>
so, what are your thoughts on the content.ie5 folder and its contents?
and..... is your index.dat file located in the c:\windows\cookies folder, like mine is?
:)
