Vista Tutorial - Indexing Results Only Return Inbox and Sent Items

Hello Group,

When I search for email using the Start menu or the Search window, only
emails in the Inbox and Sent Items folders are returned. My setup is Vista
SP1 with Outlook 2007 SP1. Running the exact same search in Outlook itself,
returns all results, from all folders, instantly.

So far, I've rebuilt and reset my index, made sure that both my PST files
are selected for indexing, and that the option to "include messages from the
Deleted Items folder in each data file" is checked.

When I move any email from the Deleted Items folder back to the Inbox, it
shows up in the search results. This leads me to believe that this behavior
is by design. If so, is there anyway to force Vista to return results from
the Deleted Items folder (where all my old email resides?).

Thanks!

Ahmed

Solved:
Search not looking in Outlook 2007 Deleted Items

In short, Control Panel -> Folder Options -> View tab -> Check "View Hidden
Files and Folders"
