The following settings are available on the General tab.
General
- Mark items in red that may not be safe to delete
By default this setting is enabled, and allows Index.dat Suite
to automatically mark and exclude items that have been detected
but are known to cause problems when deleted.
Items with the following in their paths, are automatically marked during the scan;
PPSRIN~1 (PPSRIndex.dat - Pest Patrol data file)
HELPCTR (index.dat -Microsoft Windows Help Center)
At present, we are unsure as to why deleting the HELPCTR index.dat file would cause problems. However,
we have checked it's contents, and confirmed, it is not the same kind of index.dat file as those used
by Internet Explorer or Windows.
Reccomendation: Leave checked
- Show warning prompt before viewing file contents
This option allows you to enable or disable the prompt that is
shown prior to viewing the contents of an index.dat file.
If you are unlikely to forget that it takes time to scan these
file's, you may feel free to disable it.
Reccomendation: User preference
- Automatically find index.dat files when loading Index.dat Suite
Enabling this option causes Index.dat Suite to
auto-run the scan on your system, whilst loading the program. Whilst
this can save you running the scan manually (by clicking the Find
button), it may slow down the loading of the program.
Reccomendation: User preference
- Always use external viewer when viewing index.dat file contents
When enabled, Index.dat Suite will use the external viewer you have set
in the Files options, instead of the
internal viewer.
Reccomendation: User preference
- Always delete last generated batch file when loading Index.dat Suite
When enabled, Index.dat Suite will delete the last batch file you generated (if present),
the next time you run the program.
Reccomendation: User preference
- Always verify batch file contents after file generation
When enabled, Index.dat Suite will perform a scan on the generated batch file, to check for invalid or potentially dangerous commands (e.g. deltree /y *.*)
Reccomendation: Should only be disabled if user is experiencing persistent IDSE0500 errors
Logs
- Clear Index.dat Suite log file when exiting
When enabled (ticked), this setting causes Index.dat Suite to delete
the Index.dat Suite log file (default: applog.log) when closing the program.
The choice of enabling/disabling this setting is entirely your own.
However, this file is useful when it comes to troubleshooting problems.
Reccomendation: User preference
- Clear batch file generation log when exiting
When enabled (ticked), this setting causes Index.dat Suite to delete
the Batch File Generation log file (default: bfglog.log) when closing the program.
The choice of enabling/disabling this setting is entirely your own.
However, this file is useful when it comes to troubleshooting problems.
