hi

I am really stumped by something and was hoping to find out.

OK, i start fresh with a completely cleared out index.dat file, no entires etc. and now i sign on to any web page using IE6+.

The next thing i do, after the page finally loads (have successfully logged in), is look at the Privacy Report:

just for an example, there will be 4 links showing in the Privacy Report window, and one of them will read (sans the 'http://'):

thesite.com/en-us/3454/page.aspx?suite=4&version=20

but when looking at the cache file viz the index.dat file you'll see the same link represented as:

thesite.com/en-us/3454/page.htm

in my case, all i want to do is copy the links from the cache folder to a text file. it is trouble enough to get the links from the index.dat file into a text file, but unfortunately the links in the index.dat file are incomplete. when i visit a site i am most interested in getting the links that show up in the privacy report window copied into a text file, but after a lot of looking i still can't find where the links that are found in the Privacy report are stored.

anyone else aware of this discrepency?

if you know anything about this please post a reply.

thanks
