• Can I disable Windows Explorer to automatically scan the directories

  I have two mapped network drives. When I hove the mouse over a folder, windows want to browse all folders and subfolders to count the total number of files, folders, size. It is causing a lot of unnecessary network traffic. I can't disable Windows to display information in the folder Option, but it still scans in the background.

  Here is an example:
  Folder1 has three subfolders, each containing three subfolders. When I hover over Folder1, it scans everything what it, same thing when I click in the folder, it scans everything, in all of the subfolders, files.

  However if I use cmd and I cd\folder1 it scans only the next level which is three files, and so forth causing much less network traffic.

  This feature is disable with a registry entry?

• How can I stop Windows Search to steal the focus on the text input area?

  How can I stop Windows Search to steal the focus on the text input area?

  I can type about three characters maximum and then results focus, and I have to click with the mouse to the area of searching at the end.

  For example - I want to get "Img1.bak".

  I type 'I' "m" and then I'm whisked away and the 'g', I typed just takes me to the "great songs by Imogen Heap.txt" or what is the first result starting with g.

  I have to reselect the text box and add a letter or two at a time to get what I need. Very frustrating.

• How can I fix windows search in vista sp2?

  I have windows vista Home premium sp2.  Windows search does not work.  I am not sure just at the moment where he stopped, but suspect it may have been after the installation of the Vista sp2 on 21/06/2009.  I now use Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 and the absence of Windows Search is originally I am unable to search correctly.

  After reading some discussions posted this topic, I checked control panel of indexing see indexing to be no ongoing enforcement (which I believe is correct when Windows Search is installed).  I also found that my C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search\Data file did not have the required subdirectory "Config" or its required files.  So I created a new Config file in the data folder location and pasted there two files that I've learned are necessary for the proper functioning of windows search.  These two files have come the windows directory and stuck in the newly created Config folder.  These two files and their properties are:

  (created 02/11/2006) gathrprm.txt

  Schema.txt (created 02/11/2006)

  I checked the value '0' for the 'SetupCompletedSuccessfully' under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Search key.

  The history of windows update and install sp2 (KB948465) has successfully installed on 21/06/2009 on the 6th attempt (the first 5 attempts failed).  This computer is up to date on all of the other microsoft updates.

  Apart from the problem of windows search, the computer seems to work quickly and correctly, so I prefer not to go through the effort of a complete reinstallation.  I hope that there is a specific fix for the problem of research.

  I would be very grateful for any help to solve this problem.

  Hi, Mike Moczan,.

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

  I suggest you to load the game in a clean boot state to see if the problem is not caused by the interference of any third-party application.

  To perform a clean boot on a computer that is running Windows 7, follow these steps.
  1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

  2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.
  3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.
  4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.
  5. click on OK.
  6. When you are prompted, click on restart.
  7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

  If your issue is resolved, follow the how to determine what is causing the problem section in KB article to narrow down the exact source.
