index.dat reader?

[DH]

Thanks in advance.

I recall recently reading a post of a freeware program that had the ability
to read the index.dat file that is generated from temporary internet files.
Please repost that link.

Thanks again,

Dave H.

Steve,
Can I safely delete ALL index.dat files on my system?
POKO

 

[Steven Burn]

Yes.

However, there is currently an unconfirmed report of a Windows Update error
after deleting the index.dat file located in the PCHEALTH folder.

Unfortunately, I don't have XP, so haven't been able to check and have had 1
person saying there was an error, and another saying there wasn't.

When I try to install it I get a message that the file wininet.dll can't be
replaced.
'deletefile failed: code 5'

Can I ignore this message?

 

[Steven Burn]

Are you installing via the full version, or basic version?

I got the same message. I was trying to install the full version.

Don't replace that file
You have a newer operating system
I kept my old file(which was newer....win XP)
and, index.dat reader works great!

The full version. I tried both the zip and the exe file.
It was on a Windows 2000 system.

 

[Steven Burn]

You can temporarily bypass that if needbe by closing the process that is
using it.

Most of the time, when it gives an error such as that, it will also give an
"Abort, Retry, Ignore" option. In this case, it is best to select Ignore....

If it doesn't do this, and you can't bypass it, please let me know and I'll
upload a non-wininet.dll version.

Select Ignore if you have not done so already.

As there are a couple of you with this problem, I'll make a note of it on
the Index.dat Suite download page.

Thanks for mentioning it ;o) (Index.dat Suite was developed, and compiled on

Steven, that really is one fine little program. I just wish that when
one viewed the contents of an index.dat file, it wouldn't open a fully
maximized document window. That's kinda confusing and I keep closing
the program by accident when I intend to close only the document window.

Thanks for this fine little program though. It's really a neat
utility. Even found a fourth index.dat file
(C:\WINDOWS\APPLIC~1\MICROS~1\INTERN~1\USERDATA\INDEX.DAT) on my
system that I wasn't aware of and which "Empty Temp Folders" (another
otherwise fine program) hadn't found for some reason.

Your forums don't look very active, so this post.

Is index.dat suite available for W98SE as a no-install? (assuming I
already have VB6 installed).

If not, when will the basic install be released?

Select Ignore if you have not done so already.

I have tried that, but the result is that the installation is incomplete.
The shortcuts are there, Index.dat also appears on the add/remove panel,
but the .exe file is not there.

Ditto for me...again full installation on Win98SE.

Hi Mike,

I downloaded and installed only the distribution called "Update."
It contains a fully functioning executable. I can report that it
works quite well on my w98se.

http://www.it-mate.co.uk/downloads/idsuite_upd.zip (41k)

I forgot to include, E:\zzips\sysutils\idsuite_upd\idsuite_help.zip (38k)

I need to update my report.

What works well are the following functions: Find index.dats; View an
index.dat; copy/launch etc paths & urls; Save Results report. And,
generate a _default_ run.bat.

Closer inspection shows a couple of things not sticking. The first is the
path to my index.dats, between sessions; I have to re-enter it. The second
involves changing the settings to configure what will and what will not be
written for deletion in the run.bat file. No matter that I just ticker one
thing - the run.bat regardless includes deleting about everything. [1]

Steve might tell me whether this is due to my only using the small distro?
Or whether the stickiness is lacking regardless of whether having gone
through an install routine?

.. . .


[1] The run.bat, even though only one thing checked YES (eg cookies) in
the Settings dialog, it still writes to deltree _all_ the index.dats:

deltree /y D:\ZTMP\MSIE\HISTORY\HISTORY.IE5\INDEX.DAT
deltree /y D:\ZTMP\MSIE\HISTORY\HISTORY.IE5\MSHIST~1\INDEX.DAT
deltree /y D:\ZTMP\MSIE\HISTORY\HISTORY.IE5\MSHIST~2\INDEX.DAT
deltree /y D:\ZTMP\MSIE\HISTORY\HISTORY.IE5\MSHIST~3\INDEX.DAT
deltree /y D:\ZTMP\MSIE\HISTORY\HISTORY.IE5\MSHIST~4\INDEX.DAT
deltree /y D:\ZTMP\MSIE\HISTORY\HISTORY.IE5\MSHIST~5\INDEX.DAT
deltree /y D:\ZTMP\MSIE\HISTORY\HISTORY.IE5\MSHIST~6\INDEX.DAT
deltree /y D:\ZTMP\MSIE\HISTORY\HISTORY.IE5\MSHIST~7\INDEX.DAT
deltree /y D:\ZTMP\MSIE\HISTORY\HISTORY.IE5\MSHIST~8\INDEX.DAT
deltree /y D:\ZTMP\MSIE\HISTORY\HISTORY.IE5\MSHIST~9\INDEX.DAT
deltree /y D:\ZTMP\MSIE\HISTORY\HISTORY.IE5\MSHIS~10\INDEX.DAT
deltree /y D:\ZTMP\MSIE\HISTORY\HISTORY.IE5\MSHIS~11\INDEX.DAT
deltree /y D:\ZTMP\MSIE\HISTORY\HISTORY.IE5\MSHIS~12\INDEX.DAT
deltree /y D:\ZTMP\MSIE\COOKIES\INDEX.DAT
deltree /y D:\ZTMP\MSIE\BCACHE\MSIE\CONTENT.IE5\INDEX.DAT
deltree /y d:\ZTMP\MSIE\COOKIES\*.*
exit

[2] Steve. It is writing my settings correctly to the registry. For
instance, here is testing to tell it to only delete "cookies."
Yet it does not read that when generating the run.bat. Also notice
that it writes my paths to the registry. Yet when I launch, I have
to re-enter them into the interface.

Thanks, Karen.

I'll try it, and hope Steve will get back to this thread.

BTW, on his site is a nice executable blackjack game, and a nice chess
game, but it needs 2 players at one computer, I sent him a message to
enable chess play with the computer.
