- If you know what an index.dat file is, it's probably because you wanted to delete one at some point. Unfortunately,
index.dat files tend to be in use by the operating system, making them tough to get rid of. That's what this program does.
It also empties some of the folders that commonly fill up with temp files from Internet Explorer. If you don't know what an
index.dat file is, the program contains a couple helpful links to websites with more information. To access the data stored
inside index.dat files, check out this forum topic.
- Typed URLs Editor
Updated: 11/5/07
- This one allows you to edit the Internet Explorer history of typed URLs (the drop-down list). It can delete, rename,
and reorganize any of the URLs you've typed in. Useful for fixing spelling errors and removing old links.
- FavIcons Editor
- I have about 150 links saved in Internet Explorer's favorites, and I like to assign each one its own icon. Unfortunately,
not all websites provide a FavIcon, and I prefer to replace some of those that are provided. Manually performing this process
is time consuming, so I wrote a script. To use this script, you need a folder containing icons that have the exact same names
as your IE favorites. The script simply matches each favorite to its corresponding icon in that folder and enters the icon's
path into the favorite itself.
Two more icon programs I use are FavIconizer
and Icon Shop. I recommend both.
