I have multiple problems with Indexing Options and it seems that everything I
do to try to fix it makes it worse. Here are my issues;
1. I just reinstalled Vista 64 Ult. and while the index would see my
contacts in Outlook before, now the best I've been able to do it get it to
see my email, but now that's gone. And yes, I have deleted the address book,
created a new one and made sure that all the Contacts folders are visible in
the Address book.
2. The email is no longer visible because Outlook no longer shows up as an
option. I haven't turned over UAC yet and when I click modify, where I used
to be able to see Outlook, now I don't. When I go to advanced and try to use
the Outlook folder in my App Data, it tells me that it is a read only file,
and even if I try to unclick that, I still can't get to my Outlook file.
3. I tried to reset my Index location to a folder called Index in my
Documents. I have started and stopped the service and rebooted and yet it
still tells me that my current location is in Program data. So I've selected
that old folder in Program Data as the new and started and stopped the
service but it doesn't appear to have changed anything, C:\Program
Data\Microsoft still shows as the new location after the service is started
and I have done that and rebooted. (By the way, it was ok to make the index
in my documents because I wasn't indexing the entirety of my Documents just
three folders.)
I have tried to Restore Defaults but that has not brought back my Outlook
file as an option.
Believe it or not, I had this problem with the previous reinstall of Vista
and decided this was going to be way to difficult to figure out and
reinstalled it yet again. Now I'm back where I was. Is there any solution
to this problem?
