Anyone know about the .idx files in My Documents??

I have hundreds and hundreds of .idx files in My Documents . Does anyone know how the hell to get rid of them and/or where they came from?

If there is anything you can do to help me out I would be forever grateful!!

Thanks!

 

Hi Susie,

Did you have a special reason for posting that question in this forum?
In other words do you suspect those files are related to any Javacool programs?

I found lots of possibilities here: http://filext.com/alphalist.php?extstart=%5EI   
IDX   ArcView Geocoding Index For Read-Only Datasets (ESRI)   
IDX   Clip Gallery 1.x Index (Microsoft)   
IDX   Corel QuickFinder Information    
IDX   FAX File    
IDX   FoxPro Index (Microsoft)   
IDX   ICQ Index (ICQ Inc.)   
IDX   Index    
IDX   Pro/ENGINEER Index File (PTC)   
IDX   LaTeX Index    
IDX   Outlook Express Mailbox Index (Microsoft)   
IDX   Stork Format Header Information    
IDX   Symantec Q&A Relational Database Index File    
IDX   AOL Temporary Internet Mail File    
IDX   Complete Works Index File (Toplevel Computing)   
IDX   NoX

Hi Pieter,

Actually I have asked this question in many forums and never received an answer, thought I would try here as well. All of a sudden, out of the blue, I had hundreds of .idx files that showed up in My Documents. I see several other people have had the same thing happen, however, there are never any responses to the question. Any idea how they got there or how to remove them?

Thanks!

 

Hi sarena,

Could you mail me an example?
Send it to the address in my profile. I'll have alook and see what I can find out.

This thread will be moved to the Software & Services forum.

Pieter
