Hi Tom,

Many thanks for Link ......... Much has been revealed and just love Stevern Burns Tongue in cheek explaination. One thing I note is that it refers to these files pertaining to Internet Explorer and I use Firefox as my browser ...... does the Index Dat function apply to this as well?......................................

Yes, index.dat files are not caused by using IE, but by using Windows - i.e. index.dat files are designed into the Windows OS operation, so, no way to excise it, just contain it from holding privacy information on reboot if you use Index.dat Suite which means cranking up a new script per reboot.
