Hi Bob,
You can search for them by this name *index.dat* and you can delete them
then the on reboot the system will recreate them for you.
Some of them here:
C:\Documents and settings\Administrator\Cookies = index
C:\Documents and Settings\User\Cookies = index
C:\Documents and settings\User\User data = index
C:\Windows\Temp\Cookies =index
C:\Windows\Temp\History = index
C:\Windows\Temp\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5

Nass I believe that I have boot to the command prompt and do it under the
covers of windows
and the reboot will create them automatically
I had done it under 98 , but never tried it in XP

Yes Bob that right otherwise some of them will be difficult to delete while
in windows so starting with the command prompt is the way.

Description of the Windows XP Recovery Console

delete c:\windows\Temp\Cookies\index
delete c:\windows\Temp\History\index
delete c:\windows\temp\temporaryinternet files\Content.IE5\index
delete c:\documents and settings\administrator\index
delete c:\documents and settings\user\cookies\index
and so on using the recovery console or the command prompt you will be able
to delete the index file.
