| | Win 7 search does not work correctly..help?? This is a fresh install and I have Indexing enabled for the Entire root drive and have not altered any settings for Windows Search functions. Example is file extension .fdb (It's a legacy database file), I have hundreds of this is several locations that I cannot recall all locations so I'm trying to use Search. The OS is exactly named "Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium" What is going on? What could be something to check? Is their some setting I've missed? Is their any info from MSFT? Registry settings? I'm embarrassed because I've owned a computer since 1983  |
