194499 2003-11-25 07:49:00 I was burning a CD using Nero Express, saving the files to my usuual folder. When next I opened the folder, as well as the expected saved files there were 1288 .IDX files.

Can anyone tell me - how that would happen?
- what are .IDX files?
- is it OK to delete them?

Thanks

194500 2003-11-25 08:25:00 IDX is the suffix used to indicate index files. Just like the index of a book, they are used for reference to the original files.
I have no experience with Nero but would advise you create a folder and transfer all the IDX there. If your normal files open OK without the IDX files then you should be OK. Maybe leave them in the folder and delete them after a couple of weeks if all is OK.
