| | Standard users can't add UNC paths to search? I've installed the UNCFAT add-on to Desktop Search on my Vista Ultimate computer so I can index folders on a server. With UNCFAT in Win XP, I could click "Advanced" in the Indexing Options dialog and add a UNC path to the index. In Vista, admin permissions are required to click the "Advanced" button, so, without using elevated permissions, I can't add the UNC path. Moreover, since indexes appear to be per-user in Vista, if I add the path as an admin, it's useless to Standard Users. I have found that after I add the path as an administrator, if I then edit the registry entry for the path in a subkey of-- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\CrawlScopeManager\Windows\SystemIndex\SearchRoots --to change the admin's SID to my Standard User SID, the location is indexed. But this is a terrible way to have to implement this...please tell me there is a better way to enable UNCFAT indexing for Standard Users! -- Jeff Vandervoort JRVsystems http://www.jrvsystems.com |
