File names and locations depend on which version of Internet Explorer you have. Assuming you
run IE 4.0 or above, the file names will be "index.dat."
In WinXP, here's where you'll usually find them.
* C:\Documents and Settings\username\cookies
Clean house
We all learn more about Windows each time we get our hands dirty, and you'll have an easier
time clearing out index.dat files manually than downloading a third-party program to do it for
you.
1. Restart your computer in Safe Mode with Command Prompt. (Press F8 on startup and
choose Safe Mode With Command Prompt.)
2. Log on as administrator. Enter your password.
3. Once you reach the command prompt, type "CD\" (no quotes) and hit Enter to get to
your root directory.
4. Type "del index.dat /s" (no quotes) and hit Enter to erase all files named index.dat on
your computer.
5. Type "shutdown -r" (no quotes) to restart your computer normally.
Your index.dat files will return once Windows boots up normally again, but they'll be empty!
Have fun hiding your dirty little secrets. ;-)
This is a hidden temp folder that doesn't get dumped when you go through disk
cleanup. This folder contained nothing more than. temps and .baks. These are a
collection of those little backup files that appear on your desktop while you are
working with some sort of MS Office application. Always thought that those were
deleted afterwards, but no, this folder is full of them.
Many of the files may give you the error of "access denied" or ".. is in use". You can use this
program to fix that:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es|Dnscache\Parameters]

"CacheHashTableSize"=dword:00000180
"MaxCacheEntryTtILimit"=dword:0000fa00
"MaxSOACacheEntryTtILimit"=dword:0000012d
Save this file, naming it dnscache.reg . Double click on the file in windows explorer & merge
it into your registry.
