Hi I've been testing Windows Search and selected my external drive for indexing in 'Indexing Options', but none of the mp3's/jpg's on the drive have been found (although there are many thousand). Windows Search has found all my Outlook emails and finds all the mp3's from searching within...

Windows 7 search is driving me completely crazy. I have a data CD with a lot of files and folders. Nested in a folder is a file called cdboot.ima. I put in the data CD, bring up an explorer window to see the root of the disc, and then type in cdboot in the search bar. Win7 promptly tells me...

I have Win 7 RC installed and I have found out that the search does not work at all. When I write a file or folder name and press the search arrow NOTHING really happens. The fact is that sometimes, under certain conditions or wrong options Windows does not show the propper search result. But in...

So in addition to switching my machines over to Windows 7, I recently added a NAS, so most of my stuff is now on my network. Which sometimes makes it hard to find things, but indexing network resources isn't supported under the indexer so...any suggestions for something that does work for that...

ok so my problem is that windows 7 has recently started hanging each time i try to open a folder and it shows me the little wait circle, it only lasts for about a second or so but it is highly annoying because it only started to do it about a week ago if anyone else has run into this problem...

why can't I choose which floders I want Media Player to monitor? All of my Media files are on my NAS. I can access the share and open individual files, but Windows wont index the NAS?!?:confused:

One of the many reasons I skipped Vista was because of the constant Disk activity when idle. It appears that the same problem exists with Windows 7. I've tried the usual suspects like turning of indexing etc, but the problem it still exists. I'm 99% sure it's not the hardware, because I can play...
