Description:
Index.dat Suite is a rather unique program that allows you not only to delete the index.dat files, temporary internet files, temp files, cookies and history, but it also allows you to view the index.dat files on your system.

Updates:
Fixed: Error message was shown during cleaning, even when set to supress
Fixed: Major bug in "Clean them all" feature
Known Issues:
Index.dat Suite scans network, but only when location is mapped as a drive letter
Stop does not always stop when running multi-drive scan
- I'm not quite sure whats causing this at present as I've checked
everything is as it should be and can't see anything wrong. I'll
keep working on this and see if I can sort it out.

Notes:
I've modified the batch file generation routine to include the cookies, TIF, temp, recent and prefetch (XP) as default due several requests.
If you do NOT wish to have these included, you will need to de-select them in the Index.dat Suite settings (Folders tab).
I have also modified the batch file generation routine to include custom folders, without your having to go via
the Batch File Generation wizard (this can now be skipped if you wish).
There has also been an additional CLP (command line parameter) added in the form of /clean.
This option can either be used on it's own, or combined with /auto (e.g. "/auto /clean")
to have Index.dat Suite perform the "Clean Them All" feature provided via the Tools > Cleanup menu,
without your having to launch the program and do it yourself.

Extract files to the Index.dat Suite program folder
