index.dat vs. a batch script
« 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
Some days you are the bug :(

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.
This is not a Windows help forum, however please do feel free to sign up and agree or disagree with our views on Microsoft.

Oh and FUCKMicrosoft! :fu:

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".
Go the fuck ~
