I've just updated Index.dat Suite to add support for Vista SP2. This also see's a change to the WinLogon Shell registry key usage, which now leaves explorer.exe in place, and just adds the path to the batch file after it instead (this should resolve the issue Vista users experienced when using this option).

applog.log has also been changed to applicationlog.log due to an issue reported to me, that saw a security program constantly deleting it based on it's filename.

Please test this (especially Vista users!) and let me know.

I've had a few people on XP experiencing issues deleting the file, and some users have reported success when changing the following setting (go to Start > Control Panel > Folder Options > View (tab));

1. ENABLE Show all hidden files and folders
2. UNTICK Hide protected operating system files (recommended)
3. UNTICK Hide extensions for known file types

I've no idea why these would've prevented the batch file deleting the index.dat files, but it worked for these users, so thought I'd mention it.

Note: The file in the zip does NOT need installing, just extract it to the existing Index.dat Suite folder and overwrite the existing copy of IDSuite.exe

I tried the updated IDSuite.exe by renaming the old one to IDSuite.old then unpacking the one you sent then ran it as Administrator but it did not find any index.dat files.

applog.log

Thanks for letting me know.

I've got to figure out what the hell Microsoft have changed that could've caused this as it seems to have appeared out of no-where

Oks, I've fixed it. I've had to disable the facility that allows you to hide certain results being displayed, as somethings gone wrong with it (bit wierd considering I've not changed the function since it was originally written - all it does is compare a path against the strings in the custom hidden paths file).

Can you try this one on your system please? (tested on Home Premium SP2 as that's all I have atm)

That works a lot better.

I am so glad I have an APC battery backup on this system as another 5 second power blip just occured and this is the 3rd 5 second power blip I have seen happen in the last week.
It has been raining or been cloudy here for most of this Summer and the forcast is more of the same while out west they are having massive forrest fires due to lack of rain.
