I am big on freeware but I have not been able to find any program that prevents index.dat from re-creating itself. Is there any way to get this done? Freeware? Manually? Batchfile? I would really appreciate it.

I found this on a site: go here to get unlocker.exe http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/ install unlocker.exe 1. find index.dat and right click on it then select unlocker->unlock all, right click it again then select unlocker->delete 2. make a dummy index.dat (create a text file and add some text), copy and paste it there repeat 1 and 2 for all instance of index.dat index.dat wont be recreate if you use a dummy file and you can test it by restarting window then use some index.dat viewer to test them, go on internet and internet explorer wont write to index.dat ever again

Isn't there a way to delete the index.dat files and then create a dummy index.dat file so that windows doesn't create it any longer.....?

Actually, I think you are right because I just used Super Winspy 3.02 and it pulled it up under C:Documents and Settings(USER NAME)Local SettingsTemporary Internet FilesContent.IE5index.dat The crazy part about it is that this when I go to this path the Content.IE5index.dat is not found in the Temporary Internet Files folder. This is so weird and I am determined to find it....any suggestions?

This may be old news but I just read the following: http://news.softpedia.com/news/The-index-dat-Windows-File-Builds-Controversy-32163.shtml "PandaLabs has identified the controversy following the surfacing of several reports concerning the

What I mean is...The only difference between yours cablenut file and mine are those two sections... GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize TcpWindowSize Is mine too high?

My current Cablenut file is almost exactly the same except for the GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize and TcpWindowSize. See my attached one....Will this make a difference?

I have done various tweaks,....to be quite honest, so much I don't even recall. But the majority were for when I was using Verizon DSL 1.5. Since I switched to Optimum with15/2....I didn't know what I should do.... Any suggestions..?

What should I do...? What tweaking would you suggest?

I'm happy again!

I had a problem with my Norton Corporate Edition anti-virus so I uninstalled it until I could find the CD (I moved so I am still unpacking). I downloaded AVG then I was getting an error stating I was missing avgl.dll or something with the English download, so I couldn't download it. I now have Avast free version..but my speeds are horrendous....My package is Optimum with 15/2 and I regularly got 13/2 or sometimes even 14/2 Here is my download speed. :::..

It's a long route, but the times are good? I don't understand.

If this is just a speed accelerator that caches stuff like google web accelerator, but I have to pay for.....I don't want it. I just want to do tweaks/use freeware programs that can help the overall performance and speed. Thanks
