Re: index.dat

index.dat is always opened by explorer.exe. You can delete files in the temp
internet folders if you want, but not the index.dat file.
Why you want to remove this file?

Is there a way to edit index.dat ? Something like my program calls BHO and
then BHO writes to / deletes from index.dat? Would this work? Or any
other
programmatic way to remove lock from index.dat (on NT4, W2K, XP OSes)
