Solved Search programs and files blank/no results

[sloth1]

Thanks a million, guys!

I'm gonna use this new account for a few days, maybe even a week and see how it works. I will post back on details of deleting the older account, even though its probably fairly simple...you've come to know me

thanks, again!!

 

[James Colbert]

Very welcome, and good luck!

If I do end up deleting the old one after I get all the files from it, it won't delete them from my new account as well would it? Same with programs?

 

[Britton30]

No. You will have them copied to your new one and, hopefully to some backup device. Programs may need to be reinstalled.

Thanks! I'll be checkin back in a few days whenever I do this.

:drool: <- just thought this was funny

Hi again, guys...

So far, my new account is working perfect. I just wanted to know, whenever I select to delete the old account, it asks "If i want to delete the files, or save them" pretty much...I already transfered everything over to the new one. Would just deleting the account be ok now?

Thanks

 

[Britton30]

It should be fine to delete them, but I would save them for awhile at least to be sure the new account is still fine. Also make a back up your system while its working as you like.

 

[sloth1]

Update: old account successfully deleted.

Everything is stable on the new account.

I just wanted to say thanks again to those that helped, especially Britton and James.

I'll recommend these forums to anyone I know that needs help.

 

[Britton30]

WHEW! so glad to hear you have it sorted out.

 

[James Colbert]

Thanks for posting back!

I have a similar issue

Hi all,

Please helppppp.

In my case the search does not work for any user profile!

from the search programs and files when I type in a command or program name here's what I get blank icons "programs, control panel, documents, Microsoft Outlook, Files" If I press on one of them I recieve a pop up saying "These files can't be opened. Your internet security settings prevented one or more files from being opened".

If I press on the "search more results" then the search I'm looking for is found, which in my opinion search and indexing is working from within explorer but not from within the "search programs and files" from the start Menu. Fromm within Outlook 2010 I'm also able to locate any email easily.

Here are the list of things I tried so far.

- don't have or can't find so I couldn't delete the following key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderTypes\{EF87B4CB-F2CE-4785-8658-4CA6C63E38C6}\TopViews\{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}

- deleted indexing and created it again.

- I can not restore PC to a previous state as I do not have any restore points

-search does not work in safe mode either

- search is enabled under Windows Features

- Search service is running

- Installed these 2 hotfixes KB2268596-x64 and Windows6.1-KB977380-x64
