Yeppers. The best way I have found to clear an index.dat file is by using a cleaner program. I use 2, one is called Cleanup! and can be found here www.stevengould.org , the other one I use is called CCleaner and can be found here, www.ccleaner.com . Hope this is helpful, those 2 are VERY helpful to me. Oh and yes they are FREE to download and use for life. Later, Scott. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Stop e-mail Harvesting Protect Your Friends and Family Please: Use BCC when sending to multiple addresses. Please: Delete E-mail addresses when Forwarding!!

I can't get my computer to give up the cache for several days even though I have used the Internet Options and cleared everything. Now if I don't go to my web sites, do changes, ftp them up -- then I can see the changed pages. But if I go to my site first, then I can't see the changes I've made for several days. Now I have even gone into explorer.exe and looked for any temp cache files. Nothing. So I googled and it said maybe an index.dat file might be causing this? Does anybody know how I can correct this?
