will deleting the index.dat file in internet temp files delete your history? is it safe to delete index.dat? will it make it so that i never have history, or will a new file just be made once i visit another site after deleting it?

You cant just delete index.dat and it will be recreated if you use programs to help you clean internet tracks. People mostly run the software once a month to clean index.dat

Is there any way to turn the history off completly in IE (like some box to uncheck to stop it)?

Set the meter to 0 days.

And even if you delete index.dat, it's not really gone, just like any other file.

i just meant, would deleting it clear the history?
and if you delete it, will it be created again but with no files in it?

It will delete History, IE prefs, Run / Find history, etc.

This is pretty drastic, if you don't want history to be on, set it to keep records for the past 0 days.
