Greetings All
Can anyone tell me how to go about deleteing the "index.dat" files automactically from my pc? Do I use a macro or a batch file? How do I set it up to run about every hour? Thanks everyone

Wow, thanks alot, but it don't say wether or not it can be automatically run at my chosen times. Many thanks for getting back to me so fast. I also would like to create my own batch or macro.
 
Batch files are relatively simple... an example is;

'//Everything below this line
@echooff

del c:\docume~1\I AM THE USER\cookies\index.dat

'//Everything above this line

You may experience problems trying to delete the index.dat file's in Windows
though, so it's best to create the batch file then have it run upon
re-booting.

As for the scheduling, Index.dat Suite does not support this, due to the
fact that the index.dat file's can't be deleted in Windows, so would need to
periodically re-boot your computer (something I don't want to include).

Many thanks to you. I do know the dos command for deleting the .dat files, but can I make a dos shortcut for that command

Of course....... just put the command you want to run, into a .bat file,
then create a shortcut to that .bat file ;o)
