| | Vista Indexed Search was reset To improve file searching, I have added some directories in Windows Vista Business Index (Control Panel --> Indexing Options). However, I recently noticed that these directories don't exist any more in the Included Locations section. The only directories left are the default ones (Offline Files // Users folder // Start Menu). Thus, I have to rebuild my Index from scratch... :-( Does anybody know how could this have happened? I will be very glad to receive any help. Thank you in advance... Athens, Greece |

| | Re: Vista Indexed Search was reset Hi, Did you perform System Restore after you changed those settings? You might lose this kind of appl settings if you perform a restoration... Which folders did you add to Indexing Options?

| | Re: Vista Indexed Search was reset Yes, I have indeed performed a restoration, but the system backup was made AFTER building my index. I had added folders including pictures and music from an external hard disk which is always connected in my computer. I can't see why this could be a problem. Thank you for your reply...

| | Re: Vista Indexed Search was reset If this Vista search index encounters a problem where the search index files have got corrupted it {very occasionally} has to reset the index and rebuild from scratch. This can lead to the list of locations being reset back to the defaults. As an aside, I would suggest trying the Windows Search 4 Preview, which updates the indexer in Vista with a newer version which should fix many commonly reported reliability issues: http://windowsvistablog.com/blogs/wi...0-preview.aspx "JohnGal" <JohnGal@xxxxxx> wrote in message news  DE93A35-5883-4260-A2ED-C29B871907A6@xxxxxxQuote: > Yes, I have indeed performed a restoration, but the system backup was made > AFTER building my index.
