• Somehow, I deleted my index.dat in the Cookies folder.

  Somehow, I deleted my index.dat in the Cookies folder.  How do I get it back and I really need?

  Hello

  • What was the location of the folder where you deleted it go?
  The index.dat file is a database file. This is a repository of information such as web URLS, search queries, and files recently opened. Its purpose is to allow quick access to the data used by Internet Explorer. For example, all visited web addresses are stored in the index.dat file, which allows to find quickly the AutoComplete match as long as the user types an Internet Explorer web address. The index.dat file is specific to the user and is open as long as a user is connected Windows. Separate index.dat files exist for the history, cache and cookies in Internet Explorer.
  The index.dat file is never resized or deleted. A large index.dat file can affect the performance.
   
  Note: The .dat extension is commonly used for data files (files that are not readable by humans and not to hold a binary based on documents). It is possible to find named "index.dat" files that are not used by Internet Explorer.

• index.dat locked by winlogon.exe preventing roaming profiles to be completely unloaded on client PCs

  Greetings,

  I posted this thread in the server instances earlier because it's over my whole environment that this occurs, but since someone there told me to post it here, here goes:

  We have a problem with the index.dat (*) of locked files by the winlogon.exe process preventing the profiles on the computer to be completely empty when you connect to the wide. Most of the time, after that the user is disconnected, we cannot not even manually delete this file until a few minutes after the disconnection. For example, a script to automatically delete these files during log off is unfortunately useless.

  I searched on the internet and saw a lot of people with this or similar problems, but either there was no response or did not have solutions for our environment.

  The problem occurs on all the BONES in our environment (Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 7) and all versions of IE (IE 6, IE 7 and IE 8).

  We tried the following:

  -Create a profile completely (and of course delete all the computer itself)
  -Disable the anti-virus
  -Using the latest version of UPHClean
  -Specifically exclude folders from roaming profiles (even though they are by default excluded)

  index.dat (*) is located in the following folders:
  -%USERPROFILE%\Cookies
  -%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\History\History.IE5\
  -%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\

  Kind regards

  Hi Bram,

  I found your thread in the TechNet forums where you have been redirected here. Unfortunately, I'm really ill-equipped to help you with your problem. Microsoft Answers for consumer level support and clearly your question far exceeds our support.

  What I recommend doing is posting in the Windows 7 Misc on TechNet forums:

  Members there is really to understand the functioning of Windows in a business environment and should have no problem to help you. I would like to apologize for the race around the forum to forum you meet to do as I know it can be frustrating.

  I'm sorry I can't do more to help you!

  I have synced my firefox bookmarks so that I could the reupload if ever my computer wiped, so I don't have a second device with the touch of synchronization on this subject. I made the mistake of recording only the sync on the computer key. I just got my computer back to the shop and they erased my operating system without asking. Now, I don't have my sync key and the only way to access my account synchronization requires that I have change the timing key and delete all data saved on the server. How can I access my data?

  Sorry, without your key to synchronize your data worth anything, it is impossible to - encrypted, and create a new synchronization key he will wipe away from the sync server.

  BTW, the Firefox sync service is not intended for "backups", it is supposed to synchronize your Firefox data between different "devices." Any chance you have more than one device with this sync account configuration? If so, you can use the sync this device key.

• Deleting your iCloud account deletes the data?

  I don't ask if the data can be retrieved by the user, just that Apple still keep or not?

  I'm not aware of any way to delete an account iCloud. You can remove an account from a device and you can delete the data in an account, but in both cases, the account itself still exists.

• Recovery disk is deletes the data at the 2nd disk on Satellite A300?

  Hello
  I use a laptop Toshiba A300, which has 2 hard drives (250GB). The laptop has Windows Vista Home Edition 32-bit installed, but I want to change for Windows Vista 64-bit, which comes with the recovery disk, in order to use all 4 GB of RAM.

  I have all the backup data and move them to the 2nd HARD drive (D, C named first name).

  So I wonder if Recovery Wizard will delete the data of the two hard disks or just a 1st.

  Thanks in advance
  Kevin

  Hello

  Your laptop was equipped with HARD drive recovery option allows you to create the own Toshiba Recovery disk which would be contains the preinstalled operating system.
  In your case the Vista 32 bit.

  And Yes, install from the recovery disk format the whole HARD drive and removes all the disk, also of the second partition.

  That's why to create the recovery disk before you install or change anything on the HARD drive

• How encrypt or delete my data in order to send my computer in for repair?

  How encrypt or delete my data in order to send my computer in for repair? I send you my computer to HP for repair & I need to delete all my personal data off of it for obvious reasons and I don't know how to do this. Is there anyone who can help me?

  Hi @mamasullens ,

  Thank you for your request, I am happy to be of assistance!

  I understand that you want to delete all your personal data before you send it in for repair.  I understand your concern, but it is not necessary to delete your data.  If you feel more comfortable deleting data before you send it if for repair, you can most certainly.

  Firstly, I would like to back up data to avoid loss.  Here is a link to the How to use the command Format of writing, of zeros on a hard drive (pcsupport.about.com)

  There is third party software that will also help to remove the data from the drive. For example, here is an article from WikiHow.  How do I permanently erase data on a hard disk of.

  I hope I addressed your concern.

• Deletion of data of Vista Enterprise for recycling.

  I want to recycle my old Dell desktop. It is equipped with Vista business and I want to delete my data. I clicked f8, but unlike ordinary Vista, it didn't have a link to repair the computer. I don't have a disc.

  Hello

  If someone is really committed, they can recover your data.

  The only way to know that your data is completely safe is to physically destroy the hard drive.

  It is the opinion of Dell to reinstall and using F8.
