Can't Delete index.dat Dat File in Admin/Cookies

[tesilla]

This Dat File in my C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Cookies is annoying me, can't delete neither I can open the files to see the contents. Can anybody give me an idea where to look or how to delete?

I believe you can delete that under safe mode

Try using another Administrative user in Normal Mode, both to delete this file, and/or use Notepad to read the contents.

Index.dat is covered in this article.

You cannot delete that file because that file belongs to OS

in dual boot system you can delete what you like from the "other" Windoze.Howeer Windoze will simply remake the deleted files which in any case should take up v little space. Switch on hide sys files and pretend they're not ther!!!
