Guest Blink_182_fan Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 You could try putting them all in recylce bin but NOT emptying it and see if everything works ok, if not restore them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expertec Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 I think they're some kind of index files, maybe to do with MS Office? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellie2 Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 Well seeing as he has AOL they are probably AOL Temp mail files, I would go with Blinks idea if you aren't sure... stick em in the recycle bin and leave them there for a week before deletinghttp://filext.com/detaillist.php?extdetail=IDX&Submit3=Go%21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
