    1. Restart in "Safe Mode with Command Prompt"
    2. type: type cd\ (assuming it's in your root)
    3. type: del index.dat /s
    4. type: shutdown -r

    Windows will restart and write a new index.dat file.

    If you just want to edit the file you can use any standard text editor (Notepad or similar)
    In hindsight I should have posted my Facebook status as: "I've blown the head gasket on my 1997 XR3i" rather than "I've just buggered a 14 year old escort".
    The police still haven't seen the funny side, my lap top's been confiscated and the wife has gone off to her mum's.
