Windows Washer Configuration......

......offers to “Bleach Index.dat on Windows Startup”. I’m wondering if someone can tell me what the heck that is and what information it holds.

Thanks......

Index.Dat

INDEX.DAT is used by Windows to manage your web file cache. You'll be surprised by what you can find in this file - even after you have cleared your cache and history it will persist in keeping your whole browsing, emailing and document history. Many washing programs won't clear it and it can't be deleted using the normal methods as it's permanently locked open by the SYSTEM user.

Awesome Sauron.....thanks much. Sounds like something I should include.
