34. Delete INDEX.DAT (Faster Browsing)

First of all open up the command prompt. For that go Start -> Run -> cmd. Now press CTRL + ALT + DELETE to bring up the task manager. In the task manager, go toprocesses and click on explorer.exe. End the “explorer.exe” task. All the windowswill be closed down. Don’t panic. You can still see the command prompt. In thecommand prompt type the following command exactly as it is:
Del "C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\TemporaryInternet Files\Content.IE5\index.dat"
Note is the name that you use to log in to your windows. Somelog in as “administrator” while some with another name eg: Sandeep. Whatever it is,type that name. This will also help in fixing all the issues related to browserperformance, especially the ones that cause browser to hang frequently.
