000 files are created by Indexing Service, a software component of the Windows operating system that creates a searchable file system index from files on the hard drive. The data stored in a 000 file helps Windows perform quicker searches.
000 files are saved with several other types of files that make up the search index. Other types may include .BK1, .BK2, .FID, .HSH, .PS1, and .PS2 files.
The Indexing Service search index is typically created in the following directory:
C:\System Volume Information\catalog.wci
The index may also be generated for external volumes connected to a Windows computer, such as USB flash drives.
