CCleaner and TIF index.dat

CCleaner for Windows
1

Hello,

i use CCleaner in win98 and i am satisfied about it, but unforunately using CClener in WinXP, it doesn't delete index.dat file stored in

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

can someone help me?

thanks a lot to everybody

1: Are you sure the tick box next to Temporary internet files is ticked?

2:If yes to 1 then try adding the folder to "Custom Folders" in "Options" and see if that works.

3:If you have done both 1 & 2 then I have not got a clue. Maybe CCleaner is removing the files but windows is recreating them so when you browse to the folder it looks like CCleaner has not removed them.

You should get something like this:

Details of files deleted

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IE Temporary Internet Files (42 files) 0.15MB

Marked for deletion: C:\Documents and Settings\TwistedMetal\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\index.dat

Marked for deletion: C:\Documents and Settings\TwistedMetal\Cookies\index.dat

Marked for deletion: C:\Documents and Settings\TwistedMetal\Local Settings\History\History.IE5\index.dat

Marked for deletion means you must restart your computer in order for the index.dat to be deleted. Once you run IE the index's.dat are recreated. I hope this answers your question.

englishmen,

i know that windows recreating the index.dat file of 32kb,

but unfortunately the file is the same also after reboot and the content is visible using a tool f.e. index.dat viewer, so the file is neither cleaned nor deleted :(

anyway thanks for reply

A bit off subject but we are only trying to help you saying "I know that!" seems a bit rude maybe "Thanks for the suggestion but I am aware of that"?
