By accident, I discovered the 'my documents' folder was overflowing with
thousands of files with similar names and extensions. I had probably 3 to
4 thousand files with file names like this: ca06.idx ctdf.idx etc.
Anybody have a clue where and what these little buggers are?
thanks

IDX was the extension dBase 3 used for its indexfiles...

Give that man a doggy biscuit :)
There are other index files as well. For example, older versions of
Netscape used .snm for it's mail folder indexes (and it's primary source
of netscape.exe crashes :) )
