Article courtesy of Wikipedia. In the Microsoft Windows operating system , index.dat is a file used by the Internet Explorer web browser . The index.dat file functions as an active database, which runs as long as a user is logged on in Windows. It functions as a repository of redundant information, such as webURLs , search queries and recently opened files. Its role is similar to that of an index file in the field of databases, where a technique called "indexing" stores the contents of a database in a different order to help speed up query responses. Similarly, when the Autocomplete function is enabled in Internet Explorer, every web address visited is sorted in the index.dat file, allowing the Internet Explorer to attempt to find an appropriate match when a user types in an edit field. Separate index.dat files exist for the Internet Explorer history, cache, and cookies.Note: .dat is a commonly used filename extension for a number of different types ofdata files (a file that is not human-readable or that does not hold a document-based binary file). Thus one might well encounter a file namedindex.dat that is not a part of the Windows operating system or of Internet Explorer.The simplest way to delete them is to boot to Safe Mode Command-Prompt and rundel /s index.dat from the root directory of your drive. However, leaving the file alone with cause no harm to your system.Regards, JoelFree computer support and diagnostics -->> http://repairbotsonline.forumotion.com/
