I downloaded this a few days ago, don't see it on ACF right now.

It deletes index.dat as well as other cleaning.

Has anyone used this cleaner utility? and results?

Sorry, should have included this:
---------------------
Delindex.bat
Renaissance Man
(E-Mail Removed)
http://www.burzurq.com/forum/delindex.html
Index.dat files, containing the Web surfing history, grow until they
cause performance issues with surfing. The program also deletes junk
files. The download is a .bat file, which needs to go in the top level
directory of c:\. "Type c:\delindex" (sans quotes) from any drive or
folder. You can view its notes from the Web site or open it with a text
editor.
The primary purpose of Delindex is to delete Index.dat files which are
never resized, and only get bigger. These files contain all your web
surfing history since they were (re)created, and large index.dat files
can cause performance issues with browsing.

Doesn't work on NT/2K/XP.

I prefer Index.dat Suite.

Yep. Regularly. Seems to do the job okay.

Thanks, John. I'm having a time trying to edit the text file that
represents the screens you see for notes when you run the program. It
has lots of code intermixed in the text.

What about Spider? Another option. 2003 Pricelessware

More cleaning with one of Langa's utilities, clean9x.bat... also one for
win2000 and XP

Perhaps I missed something BUT IIRC I simply used it "as is".

Regards, John.

When I run it, data screens detail what it does, that file on his site
has lots of DOS code intermixed in the text. I want to review the text
to see what the program does. I'm looking into how to clean it so I can
read it.

Thanks, Spacey. Spider and clear.bat have good documentation.

Mike, I looked at the 32k delindex.bat file and also the 2.4 meg
IDSuite. Here's another small, freeware, no-install alternative.

The package contains three files:
readme.txt (1140 bytes) - This file
dellater.asm (3417 bytes) - Assembly source code
dellater.exe (2560 bytes) - Program file

For more security software, visit our website:
http://www.diamondcs.com.au

I placed dellater.exe in the root. In the run box I type
c:\dellater C:\WINDOWS\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\index.dat
A screen then announced the file is marked for deletion on the next
boot. Win Patrol came up, as expected, with its usual warning that
wininit.ini been designated to run on the next boot. I rebooted and
then read the index.dat in my editor and the sites previously indicated
were gone as index.dat was just blank spaces. It worked fine.

Of course any file 'in use' can be deleted by using this little exe.
