If I boot to DOS (Win 2000) and delete all the index.dat files, would = that cause any problems?
If better to get a utility, which one would you recommend? I use = CCleaner but it does not erase all the internet data even when secure = delete is selected.
Any suggestions would very much be appreciated.

cause any problems?
it does not
See section 4 on how to delete index.dat files.
x-no-archive: yes
Our office machine contains taxpayer information and business clients. We typical use East Tec Eraser which not only does index.dat but the slack space and free space on the hard drive. Before we send an old machine to the recycler, we'll run this on the hard drive to erase all data.

If it's just going to be recycled, I'd erase the HDs with a ball peen hammer, myself.
