Cannot index the network drive...?

I was I big bear to Microsoft for 20 years now, but have something as simple as a network drive index terms (including XP and Vista was quite capable of) that now available in W7 is not a shame...
I can understand if you can add to a library, but you can't make even the indexing of files network.  You must make it available offline, which is not what I want, need and highly impractical replication 500 GB on my laptop of 300 GB.  In addition, don't want these files on my laptop for security issues.  Let us, index or add it to a library Windows can help you to find us our data instead of trying to force us into a way to data management that is not practical.
Windows 7 is very quickly becoming a larger more flexible maturity of Microsoft ' we wan to control the way that you do things "attitude.  From a functional point of view, it seems stable, but Microsoft's vaunted now "calculate and store the data of your way" in advertisements that I clearly know be set to FALSE.
In addition to all the people questions W7 installation and delivery are affected by, you managed to turn IE into the bloat-ware. On my laptop Windows 7 freshly installed with 3.0 Ghz and 4 GB of memory, it takes 4 seconds for IE open.  Firefox, Opera, Chrome all start and ready to go the second.  Installation of Windows 7, which cannot perform an "upgrade" on the key issue of product own drive hard, or without the help of sellers of shit like Digital River.   I don't understand why Microsoft is going in this friendly way extremely lay to make things very awkward and difficult for its customers.
Microsoft has managed to alienate their power-user and technical groups by the infantilization of the things down and removing some key features. Not too sure about the reason of this business like the OS market is about to get highly saturated and competitive... so lets to alienate our power users, those who innovate push us Microsoft into the business and residential community to make IE slow and cumbersome.

Maybe these Mac ads aren't too far from the truth...

Hi KipperMN,

Thank you for using Microsoft Answers!
Take a look at this thread below, it can provide some ideas on how to bypass the indexing network drive:
If Internet Explorer takes a long time to open because of the "bloat-ware", have you tried Internet Explorer with no modules?
To do this, click Start , and then type Internet Explorer. In the results, you should see Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).
Often what I saw is the first time that IE opens, it may take a second or 2 longer than usual. But every time after that (because it is loaded into memory), it is very fast to open. Also, take a look at the following thread: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/InternetExplorer/thread/72dd379e-bb28-4342-91ec-472d9af83ab7
You're talking about Windows 7 "withdrawal of some key features. Is there something specific that you don't see?
Overall, I'm sorry that you have had a bad experience with Windows 7. As Steve says, giving feedback is the best way to improve Windows.
Let me know if I can do anything else for you help!

  • Cannot access the network drive after trying to change the shared folder.

    I had a 80 GB drive connected to my E3000 for a few years and it worked without problem. I recently turned to a 250 GB Maxtor One Touch drive. When I plugged it, the router automatically creates a shared folder. I was able to connect to this folder without problem, but I wanted to share the whole score. When I made this adjustment and tried to save the settings, I temporarily lost access to the router. He gave me the standard page cannot be error message appears. When I got access changes seem to be made. When I try to access the drive of my laptop I get this error message, "the mapped network drive could be created", "the name specified network is no longer available". I rebooted and power rolled my router as well reconnected the drive.

    I think that since you have replaced your hard drive, old settings are configured may still on the hard drive of old. You can change the users and group so that it syncs with the new hard drive or start from scratch (reformat the hard drive).

    My computer has virus of the FBI, I wiped it is clean but now it cannot connect to intermet because it can't find the network driver how can I find it?

    Since you have formatted the PC and reinstalled Windows, your question will be handled better in the hardware forum space and drivers for Windows 7, so I'll move it there.

    Apparently, you need to install the driver of your PC network. If you used the CD to restore the PC manufacturer that should have been included, but it may be on a 2nd CD with drivers and programs.

    If not, the first thing to do is contact the PC manufacturer to see if they have a driver available for download. If the PC has a wireless network card and wired, perhaps one has been configured, but not the other and you try to use the not yet detected and installed.

  • Vista Home Premium cannot perform backup on the network drive

    Fairly well described in the title... asks for a password. no password required on each pc. Seems to be a known problem based on the messages I've seen. Is there a fix. ???

    Unstable1

    Thanks for posting on this Forum.

    What applications do you use to make your backup?  You use the Configuration and status of the backup program that comes with Windows Vista or the backup center and restoration?

    Is it a home network?  If so, all computers have the same name of "workgroup"?  As you may know, the same name of user and password must be on all systems that are part of a working group.  You are able to "navigate" to this network drive?

    If the network drive (part) belongs to a Windows domain, make sure that you have the appropriate rights to write to this drive (Share) network. Ken

  • Can't deleted iPhoto Library the network drive backup

    I made a backup of my library iPhoto on a network drive. Since then, I realized Time Machine made a better job of backing up my iPhoto library. So I planned to remove the library for free space.

    When I try, I get this message:

    "The operation cannot be performed because you have not granted access to some of the elements."

    If I can spend in the library and digging around, I find there are hundreds, maybe thousands of articles where I don't have permission. Y at - it a way to replace that can simply remove the library?

    Which does not imply iPhoto somehow - maybe you can get help from the forum for your operating system, but most likely, you need support from the supplier of the network drive - this is the question is

    A missing IMEI is a fatal error which cannot be set. This is usually the result of the attempt to jailbreak or hack the phone unlock illegally, but not exclusively.

    XP host and client windows 7 on ad - hoc network...
    Dear friends, I have set up an ad hoc network between two laptops. The host is running on xp sp3 and the client is running windows 7.
    Now the problem is that if I enable security on the network, the client windows 7 cannot recognize the network at all.
    If I turn off security on the network ad-hoc, everything works fine and I can share files and access the internet on client... Please help

    Ok

    Now, I'm pretty sure that I understand your game up. Well done to get the internet connection, sharing of work (not a simple process) but without encryption.

    I am sure that the problem lies in the Windows 7 laptop (laptop 2). When you switch cell 1 to WEP, you must also pass portable 2 to WEP and provide the WEP key you have configured with laptop 1.

    It's getting late here now, but I'll try to answer tomorrow after I have test it on my two laptops to Windows 7. In the meantime maybe I can point you in the right direction...

    • Right-click the the small icon at the bottom right of your screen on laptop network 2 and then click on Open Network and Sharing Center
    • In network and sharing Center, click on manage networks wireless (nearby at the top left)
    • Click Add, and follow the wizard to create an ad hoc network, selecting WEP and providing the encryption key you configured on the notebook 1
    • Save the network so that you do not have to repeat this procedure.

    Otherwise, when you get to manage wireless networks, if your ad hoc network is already listed...

    • Right-click in your ad hoc network, and then click Properties
    • Click the Security tab
    • Change it to WEP and provide the encryption key
    • Click OK

    Good luck, I will pick up this new after my drowsiness.
