Index.dat file present (or not)

[imperium]

Hey folks,

I performed a search scan with Index.dat quickviewer and it found an index.dat file at: C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\index.dat of 4496kb. Strangely though, when I try to open the folder, the Content.IE5 folder isn't there. I have the Hide Protected Operating System Files unchecked, but it still is not visible. Any thoughts?

If you've only tried navigating to that location, try running (Winkey + R) this instead:

%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet
Files\Content.IE5

That brings the .IE5 folder up for me, even on 7.

HTH

Cheers Philby, that worked!

IE5 yikes, better update that now.

This folder exists irrespective of the IE version used, afaik.
I doubt the OP is using 5.
