Vista - BUG: All images saved with Paint are NOT indexed!

BUG: All images saved with Paint are NOT indexed. No results in Windows
Explorer, if you try to search them using the Search box

reproduction steps:
1. press ALT+PRINT in order to capture a screenshot of a Windows
2. open the MS Paint and paste in it
3. save the image as jpg or png
4. close the MS Paint
5. open the folder where you saved it. Type the name of that file in the
search box
..... NO RESULTS!!!

6. repeat using another graphic program and the images are found

> BUG: All images saved with Paint are NOT indexed. No results in WindowsBack in July, Dave Woods from Microsoft confirmed in teh newsgroup thatt
this is a known bug in Vista. You'll probably find that thread in the
archives, somewhere.

I don't have a KB number, I don't think there was a specific KnowledgeBase
article. Probably it will be fixed in SP1 (I'd guess).

In the meantime, you can work around it by setting the Index bit manually,
or using an alternative app like Paint.NET (which is free and better,
anyway).:

Hope it helps,

Does Microsoft have a URL that lists all these known bugs so we don't have
to bang our heads against the wall trying to figure out what we are doing
wrong?

why list them individually when you can save time and call Vista itself a
huge monstrous bug?

Bug reproduced here: Vista Home Premium.
The 'index this file' is not checked in the properties.
Also the permissions has two additional entries (vs other jpgs) that are not
inherited from parent that seem to be redudent (they are also inherited).
Also the icon for the file has a small icon of two people in the lower left,
I hadn't noticed that in other files. This file is shared with IUSR_NMPR (
media sharing I think).

Basic bug seems to be that the save does not inherit the properties from the
parent directory.

Further:
I tried to stop sharing the file, after about two minutes of frantic disk
activity the system reported that I could not stop sharing because the file
was in a shared directory (true), however the pair of people icon was
removed.

I do have a Cheapo Compaq with Vista preinstalled. I use it mostly for
testing purposes and seldom allow it access to the internet. I've Ghosted
the hard drive prior to first boot, so I can quickly and easily get back to
'out of the box' condition with no possibilty of viruses/malware. Having
taken these precautions to prevent needless head-banging, I would like to
eliminate the 'known bugs' issues too.

Having such a URL, easily searched with the browser's 'find on this page'
function, seems like a simple and inexpensive way to assist the customer.
Or maybe not freely supplying a list of known bugs is a major source of M$'s
revenue. What do you think?

Not only I have vista but I have deployed more than 100 systems... and
supported even more than that.

I know vista, and thats why I declare its the worse OS MS made. And thats
why Im using XP!
