For IE7, Autocomplete, I have User names and passwords checked. In fact I have all 3 options checked on that page. The only one I don't have checked is to 'Prompt to save passwords'.
Hello GMO8,
In IE7 Autocomplete could you turn on "Prompt to save passwords" ? Most users set this ON.
If you don't have this option set ON then when you enter your Userid and password they will not be saved since you are not prompted to save them. If the option is not ON then it may be that the UserID and password are only saved in the index.dat file and IE7 can only find them there.
As you can see,I believe what you are saying about unchecking Windows/Internet Explorer/delete Index.dat files solved the problem.
The reason I am interested to get more information is that you are one of a very few that have this problem when only using IE7.
Many IE8 Beta2 users have a similar problem and we found that UNCHECKING Windows/Internet Explorer/delete Index.dat files solved the problem.
Something in IE8 Beta2 is causing CCleaner to delete the "Cookies" index.dat file which has not happened to most IE7 users even when they have the option ON to Delete index.dat files.

I am still trying to figure out why this occurs for only a few Internet Explorer 7 users. It may be as simple as not having the "Prompt to save passwords" option set. I am not sure about this.
Could you tell me exactly where your "cookies" file is located ? I use WinXP Pro SP3, IE7 also.
Mine is at C:\Documents and Settings\MYNAME\Cookies .
Mine contains only "cookies" .txt files and 1 index.dat file .
Does yours contain any other files ?
If you turn the option ON then Analyze,do you see a line like this after the cookies to be deleted list ?
Marked for deletion: C:\Documents and Settings\MYNAME\Cookies\index.dat . I never see this but IE8 Beta2 users do depending on the option setting. I realize that here we are talking about "cookies" but it may be related or not.
I appreciate all your help,
