Default Index.dat file present (or not)

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

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