Brandon Lee wrote a new post, Redirect user profile folders documents, pictures, etc. For a long time, roaming profiles and folder redirection were the standard means under Windows for making user files available on different devices. Now that more and more users work on the road or at home rather than in the office, this technique is becoming increasingly obsolete. An alternative to such environments is to redirect profile folders to OneDrive. Paolo Maffezzoli posted an update 14 hours, 36 minutes ago.

On the General tab, click to uncheck Allow files on this drive to have contents indexed in addition to file properties at the bottom.

After, click Apply. You will be given the option to choose all files or just the drive itself. The next step will take some time. Your PC will now apply this new attribute to every file on that drive.

If any Access Denied messages appear, just click Ignore All — these are system files or other files that are currently being used. If you want to disable search indexing on Windows 10 completely, you must use another method. The methods above can stop search indexing for specific files and folders, but the search index service is still running. This option is only recommended if Windows search is not working, or your CPU is really slow and running into performance issues.

Follow the steps below to disable Windows search. Look for Windows Search in the list of services. To find it easier, click the Name button twice to organize alphabetically from Z-A. Double click Windows Search when you find it. In the new tab that opens, click Stop to stop the Windows Search indexing service, and then click the Startup type dropdown box. In the list that appears, select Disabled. If you notice any problems with search performance, you can consider turning it back on again.

It's a txt file from a game called Armed Assault. I've made sure that the file type is checked in the advanced settings and that content search is enabled. I've addede the folder to the search index and clicked "searh in file content", but it doesn't find the file. I have a different problem. I know how to stop files from being indexed, but how do you delete the actual files that are indexed? I have a bunch of files that were downloaded by someone from a newsgroup that I don't want on my computer.

Hitting delete doesn't help and I can't find them on my hard drive. If I click on the folder they are supposedly in, I get a message saying no such folder exists. For what ever reason, Microsoft left that out of Vista. They assume we know what file type we are searching for and expect us to type it such as doc, xls, pdf, etc…. The problem is sometimes you may not know the file extension and have no way of searching for the app in a list like the way you can in XP.

Which works great if you're trying to find "important. I found a neat trick though: In the search box, type "type:folder name:important" and it will work. This is just Disinfo for me.

I don't even use the Index, to save on resources. So do anyone know how I can search in file contents on vista without it without renaming filetypes to TXT? Better than using Run control. This doesn't address how to search the contents of files that have no extension. I have text files that were downloaded and they have no extension at all so I can't add their extension to the file types list in Advanced Options.

Are you sure the files don't have file extensions? This is in my opinion like teaching a magic. I dont know what a dumb design this complex search scheme. Look xp pro how simple and works nice. What if I want to only index a few file types e. Word documents and emails , but don't want to have to go un-click on every single other type? I couldn't find a "un-select all" or similar feature.
