| 355935 | 2005-05-17 09:38:00 | My desktop is completely covered with .idx icons. About 120. I delete them and empty the recycle bin but they come back every time I restart my comp. I was using Nero just befor this happened but do not know if this is relevant. How can I delete them? | gradebdan (2186) | ||
| 355936 | 2005-05-17 09:46:00 | What OS are you using, try deleting them in safe mode and restart. Also you could try clearing out your cache and try scanning for spyware/adware etc. | Overdrive_5000 (4950) | ||
| 355937 | 2005-05-17 09:51:00 | The OS is 98SE. I have run AVG, SPYBOT and SPYWARE BLASTER but no luck.Where is the CACHE located? | gradebdan (2186) | ||
| 355938 | 2005-05-17 09:54:00 | Basically that just means getting rid off any temporary files you can use the disk clean up utility (cant remember if 98SE has it ) or you can download a utility such as Pc cleaner to remove them | Overdrive_5000 (4950) | ||
| 355939 | 2005-05-17 09:55:00 | What version of Nero r u using?? But youre right. Looks like Nero Express creates these files. Your prob sounds similar to this www.cdrinfo.com Cant say I've seen these files. I'm using 6.6.0.13 at the mo. Which just came out. |
