Vista - Downloaded files excluded from index

08-15-2007

Sometimes a downloaded file will have its "Index this file for faster
searching" option disabled, with obvious results. Presumably the option was
set by the server, or whoever created the file.

How can I stop it from happening? Is there a way to force files to be
indexable?

Hi Tom,

This will show you how to add items to be included in the Index.

I know how to add files to the index. I want to have it done automatically
for all downloaded files.

Ok Tom,

The only way I know of is to add your download folder to the Index. This way everything that stays in there will be indexed. Other than that, I believe you have to manually add them.
