| 36898 | 2002-02-24 08:34:00 | Last week I copied an audio CD on my CD-RW and discovered later that I now have 1304 *.idx files in my Documents folder, eg Ca00.idx, Ct00.idx, etc and these numbers will increase consequetively, along with other similar named files. They only have data like 'TIDX' and other strange symbols in them. A handful of these *.idx files do belong to my emails in Outlook Express. Are these files related to the Nero burning program as some kind of database for the audio CD that I copied? I can't see why they should be if there are over 1200 of them. Will appreciate some enlightment. |
