red50 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) I suggest to add a cleaning routine for the index.dat of the Microsoft internet explorer. - Like the "old" software "index.dat" does. - Kind Regards, Michael Edited February 6, 2013 by Nergal Removed useless font attribute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted February 5, 2013 Moderators Share Posted February 5, 2013 Are you saying that there is some part of CC's Index.dat cleaning that you find lacking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red50 Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Thanks for your fast response! 1. I installed Ccleaner, latest version. 2. I marked everything to be deleted. It worked well, so far. 3. After that cleaning process, I started "index.dat" to clean the "index.dat" of MS internet explorer. This cleaning showed a lot of entries in the "index.dat" to be cleaned, although Ccleaner has been run before. ----- Therefore, I do assume, that Ccleaner does not clean the "index.dat" of MS internet explorer. ----- Am I wrong?

Moderators Augeas Posted February 5, 2013 Moderators Share Posted February 5, 2013 I have around 20+ index.dat files on my pc. CC cleans a specific subset of these, including that used by IE. We would need to know what Windows version you're running, what index.dat file that isn't being cleaned, and what CC option you're using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red50 Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 I am using "MS Windows 7" + "MS Internet Explorer 8.0" I am aware the 8.0 is outdated. Primarily, I am using Opera. Just in case, Opera has trouble with a site, script or whatsoever, I am switching to the MS Internet Explorer and after back to Opera, again. I cleaned index.dat for MS Internet Explorer, using Ccleaner 3.27. After that, I started the freeware "index.dat" and it found the following index.dat files (MS Internet Explorer) not cleaned: ----- appdata\local\microsoft\windows\temporary internet files\content.ie5\index.dat appdata\local\temp\temporary internet file\content.ie5\index.dat appdata\roaming\microsoft\windows\iecompatcache\low\index.dat ----- Kind Regards, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted February 5, 2013 Moderators Share Posted February 5, 2013 I may be wrong, but I don't think that these three files are relevant to browsing under your username. If the contents aren't being updated with your browsing data, then don't worry about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
