As I said in my first post, I'm talking about the URL-cache index.dat-file, located in the 'Cookies'-directory. You say deleting it 'will do you no good': have you ever opened the file? That's like saying deleting cookies is no good. There have been discussions on AO on how to remove the d**n thing. Well, the log-on and -off thing allows you to remove it. Nothing more, nothing less.

I haven't tried this with XP as I do not know if it has a "DOS" mode (since it's based off of the NT kernel, I would think it doesn't, but Microsoft has done stranger stuff.)
Didn't I say that in my first post?

Huh? That's an easy way to bash Windows...
