Vista - Please help, I have trouble trying to add a shared network folder to the search index

I just upgraded from Windows XP Pro to Windows Vista Buisness. I'm
connected to a domain controlled by a Wndows 2003 Server.

I created a new network sign-in name for myself after I upgraded
because it was the only way I could get my Vista Theme to display.
After upgrading, when I signed in with my old username the Vista Theme
would always revert back to Windows Classic. However the search
funtion worked fine and did successfully import my old index. I hope
that makes sense.

Anyways, now with my new sign in name I'm tring to rebuild the search
index. I would like to add some shared network folders to the index,
however when I get to the section to add locations, the "show all
locations" button is greyed out and can not let me click it.

Does anyone know what I need to do to have access to the "show all
locations" funtion?

Thanks in advance for your help. TG

With the help of Microsoft Support, I regained the functionality to
index shared network folders. I had to download and install an add-
in: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

BTW..It appears that in my instance, the "show all locations" button
is greyed out when there are no more locations to show. Once I
installed the add-in, I had to map the network drive and then the
locations showed up in the indexing options and I was able to select
them for indexing.
