Index.dat Suite Using Index.dat Suite

---

Although Index.dat Suite is fairly straight forward as it is, this section is a quick guide for those that are using Index.dat Suite for the first time. The first thing you should check before using Index.dat Suite, are the following items; 1. Search In This is the box on the main IDFinder window, that tells Index.dat Suite, which drive/folder, it should search in. The default location is the drive you have installed Index.dat Suite to, so if you have used the full or basic installs, this will usually be C:\ . To change the Search in location, click the Browse button next to the Search In box. 2. Settings Index.dat Suite has some standard default settings, designed to make things a little easier for the user, such as the folders that are included in the generated batch file, and the default filename for the batch file itself (default is run.bat). These can be changed in the Settings options: Menu: Tools > Settings Shortcut Key: F11 3. Platform Most importantly, you should check to make sure Index.dat Suite has correctly detected your platform (version of Windows). The easiest way to do this is to check the Index.dat Suite log file, however, you can also manually check/set this in the Settings options. Menu: Tools > Settings Shortcut Key: F11 Once you have checked the above, you can simply save your settings, and click Find on the main IDFinder window. Index.dat Suite will then proceed to locate the index.dat file's on your system. Once the scan has finished, you can opt to either; 1. View the contents (See: Viewing index.dat files) 2. Delete them (See: Deleting index.dat files)
