Title: index.dat vs. a batch script
Post by: mud on 13 October 2005, 07:16

It would be nice to have a batch script that would empty the contents of the
various index.dat files every 5 seconds... or whatever.

It would be nice if I knew how to write batch files.

It would be nice if someone could tell me where I could find such a script...  :p

Its a fucking batch file, I could tell you how but I find it to funny that you are so lame you cannot even write one.

Bash scripts and crontab on Linux is much easier. Stop using Windows.

I use Linux as well as windows.

After reading the "Microsoft's Really Hidden Files" article on this site,
http://www.microsuck.com/content/ms-hidden-files.shtml
I thought that a batch file might help.

Hey kintaro,
It's interesting that you should have a mental health topic on your forum... :D

This really should've been binned anyway because it's requesting Windows help which is agains the rules.

Don't worry about the bashing there, but seriously, who cares about those files? If you don't use IE and OE, then it's a non-issue. The days of the "hidden files" mattering at all are long over. That issue is "so 20th century".
