Any help please. THANKS! -- Deuce This just sounds like the index has not finished updating itself yet since it only runs slowly in the background during low or idle usage. You can force it to update faster by doing a "Rebuild" of the index, then those files should not show up in the search results. You can see how in this tutorial if needed. Indexing Options Hope you make it before she catches you. LOL Shawn |
