i hate this
I only want my startup menus indexed, but now for some unknown reason, I have 519 Items indexed. And when i go into indexing options and then 'Modify' the "summary of selected icons (bottom box) is completely empty.

to re-modify the search options -
http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/window-on-windows/?p=820
and nothing shoes up in the box where 'start menu' and user folders are supposed to be. instead the included locations is empty.
that i was allowed to. but it still shows 517
From that link, READ THIS CAREFULLY -
"You cannot select the file locations shown on the Indexing Options window and remove them. Instead you have to select the entry and click Modify. Figure B shows the expanded view of the Users Indexing entry. It is from here that you can disable this option so it is not included in your machine's indexing."
The figure B shows hoe Users is expanded and checked and the two users are also checked. Now BECAUSE they are checked they are excluded. You exclude what you want.
and I also unindexed my entire harddrive and it didnt make the number go down at all.
