Kento: Thamks for the tip...just sent the spider out and you're right...I was AMAZED!! Simply thousands of url's, files, etc. And they were still there a week after I deltreed everything. I trust that they are gone now? Again, thanks for the super tip, rt

I tried saving it in notepad like you said... when I go to save as it gives me the choice of text files or all files... but not .bat . so how do I save it to make it a batch file

[Ratboy]

outatime,

In the 'Save as type' field, select 'All Files (*.*).

In the 'File name' field, enter whatever file name you like, just end it with .bat (ex. myfile.bat), and then Save.

thanks for the tip, it worked. Now how do I edit and put more lines in it.. I went to ms dos and tried edit run.bat which is what I named my batch file and nothing comes up.

[Ratboy]

Right-click on the batch file you created and select 'Edit'. This will open it in Notepad.

hmm, i used spider and it didn't come up with much...wonder why, since I have been surfing on this pc for 2 yrs?

[Dark Star]

Two years of surfing should have come up with a group.

What do you mean by not much?

Whoops, sorry. There was a big blank space, I had to scroll down...you are right...unbelievable.
Thanks Kento!

Hi Kento & everyone who mentioned Spider! This is a blessing to us who want to get rid of the index.dat files without going into deltree. I've also checked out Evidence Eliminator. Its costly, but what is your ideas about the program being superior to Spider & the other programs that rid the HD of all these files? Is it worth the cost?
Thanks,
Bevy

I think Spider does an great job of ridding the clutter and there is nothing I feel I have to hide. I am sure you fell the same way so why spend hard earned money on something that will do 5% more.

I downloaded this spider program, but it doesn't appear to be deleting the things it says it can delete. What might be wrong? I am running IE5.5 SP2 and I see no mention of this browser.

After you run it did you click on the ambulance icon and select what you want it to remove.

also ...I'm not sure why but sometimes I have to run it twice to get rid of everything

Another little quirk with the program concerns multiple users.
For instance if I am at my Desktop and run spider it will remove all information for my other desktop and my Wifes desktop but will leave most of mine in place. I have to sign into another desktop to remove mine. Strang eh...
What I have been doing is signing into the default desktop and deleting from there.
