How did you do that? I have no "add folder" option for
C
Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files
using Windows Explorer.
But strangely enough that is more or less how I was able to access
content.ie5 when I fired up Eraser 6.2 to try to delete index.dat. I simply
added /content.ie5 to the "Temporary Internet Files name in the selection
box, and up popped index.dat and the 4 hidden folders too. I believe that
Eraser uses Windows Explorer to select folders/files to be erased, so it
should be possible to see content.ie5 in WE itself.
FYI it was not possible to erase index.dat with Eraser 6.2, even though it
was set to erase the file at reboot. Although I haven't yet tried, I think
the only way at present to erase index.dat might be with a bootable Linux
CD.
