I have just had a really strange request. I have to modify one of my
programs (User Migration) so that it will migrate a specific cookie to
the new PC. Now, one cannot just copy the cookie to the new PC without
modifyinig the Index.dat file. But, after many hours of Googling, I
cannot find the data structure of this file. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jody W 11 2076
Jody,
I suggest you spoof your e-mail address unless you want to be SPAMMED
------------------------------------------------------------
Yep. I have written an application regarding the index.dat files & after
months of searching I found nothing on the net either. So, I investigated it
myself.
Unfortunately for you, I do not plan EVER to release the information, as 1)
no-one wanted to help me out when I e-mailed them for some answers & 2) I
have an application for sale that deals with them.
Sorry, but this is the reality of the situation. Forget asking on the
newsgroups or VB.NET forums because I have been there, done that, bought the
t-shirt & wrote the book, so to speak.
Sorry that I am unable to be of any additional help

Then why bother to respond. The simple fact is that no one may have known
the answer. Now that you do, answering in this manner makes you sound like
a complete ass. I recommend that no one purchase your application based on
your attitude.

Thanks for your comments, but when I asked people who know the answer they
never helped me at all & basically told me to find out myself. This is the
reality of the question asked.
As I said before, I have been to the newsgroups, VB.NET forums & companies
that have done it & no-one is willing to help. It took me MONTHS to research
everything & as nobody helped me or was willing to help me then why should I
make this information available freely?
There are a few other questions like this which no-one will release the
information.
I know of a program that is FREE that cleans your computer, but if you want
the professional version that only does the same but handles the index.dat
file then the price is £70 (around $130). So, from this example that
index.dat handling is worth money & I have given too much in the way of hard
code that people don't know free on the Internet or in the forums whereas, I
could be making a living from it. How do I know that the information I am
providing for free isn't making that person 1000's? Therefore, I want to
make the money out of it.
Sorry, but I will never force anyone to buy any of my products that are
available.

The IE Spy is a VBS script, but that just shows the information in the
index.dat file. The author of that was one of the people I approached in the
past who was unwilling to help.

The link from the reIndexDat was an article I read in the past, but its not
complete & if you like I e-mail the author then you won't get any additional
info because Microsoft hasn't released anymore. So, you can only use that
info to a certain point

Crouchie, I'm sorry that when you were in search of your answers no
one was of very much help. The fact of reality is, you are using that
as an excuse to feed your over-inflated ego. If you have the answer
but don't want to give it, then just shut the hell up and let people
get on with thier lives without watching you trip over your ego.
Jody W.
As a second follow-up, when I get this working, I WILL BE RELEASING my
findings for others to benifit and improve on. THAT IS THE NATURE OF
REALITY.

Actually, that was a great article, unfortunatly it deals with the
index.dat file for IE history. There has to be some structure to the
one used for cookies, I guess i just need to take a few days off from
work to have the time to deal with only this. Sorry Crouchie, some
poeple to not have nice cushy jobs that allow all the time in the
owrld, some poeple still do have deadlines in life.
Anyway, I'm just going to ignore him from now on. Like I said though,
when (not if) I get this solved, everyone will be seeing the
code/structure of this file.
