Is there any freeware that can read index.dat files on Windows 2000 and
XP? Spider, I know, can read them on Win9x, but not 2K or XP.

I don't reply to trolls like Andy Mabbett or Doc (who uses sock
puppets), for instance. No adware, cdware, commercial software,
crippleware, demoware, nagware, PROmotionware, shareware, spyware,
time-limited software, trialware, viruses or warez for me, please.

You don't specify from what application, so the answer could be just
about anything.

The index.dat files that contain information on cookies and URLs of
visited sites.
 
Daze N. Knights explained :
Notepad only gives gibberish opening these files, which are the locked files
that accumulate information on cookies, browsing history, URLs of visited
sites . . .

Did you use Notepad++ rather than Windows Notepad? Notepad++ opened my
index.dat file in my \cookies folder and gave me "Client UrlCache MMF
Ver 5.2..." in plain English.

Okay, those are specific index.dat files. "index.dat" doesn't specify
that it's not a database index file of some sort - the names - index
and .dat - aren't specific to any particular app.
