  Hi Charles,
  you have learned what I and many others have also learned the hard way... usually Reg editors damage much more than good. That said, I advise you to do a system restore to before you used it, or you may need to reinstall a victory.

• Windows Desktop Search gaps in the entire office vs specific folder search

  I am running Windows XP Pro on a laptop, and have installed WDS. If I search for a file from the Windows taskbar, it shows a file in my folder. If I click find on the file menu bar, (which opens from WDS, but specifies to search only in this case), it says that the file is not there. I tripled checked, closed the windows and searched again, with the same results. The 'version' of WDS that appears when looking for a specific folder, do not use the same index using the search bar? Advice on the resolution of this conflict?

  Is it possible to change the date column in the result pane of Windows Desktop Search 4.0?

  It runs on a Windows 2003 Enterprise Server.

  I have users who need to modify files that arrived today and yesterday, after 17:00.  The date column only displays the time on files including today's date.  Is there a registry setting that I can shape for this column to always display the Date and time?

• Indices from scratch whenever I connect to Windows Desktop Search.

  Hello
  I was frustrated for a while because my PC seems to work for centuries after the start to the top.  Now, I realized that this is because Windows Desktop Search indexes from scratch every time.  It takes more than an hour for about 65 000 items in the index and then works fine.  But when I switch the computer the next time I log on the number of indexed items is zero and it starts indexing all over again.
  I deleted Windows Search and re-installed the latest version, but it's still the case.  Surely, it should contain the elements previously indexed.
  Any ideas on what I should do?

  Hi, John Robert E.

  · Do you remember recent changes made to your computer before the show?

  · What is the service pack installed on the computer?

  Rebuild indexing on your computer and check the results:

  a. click on start

  b. click Control Panel

  c. Select indexing options

  d. Select the Advanced tab

  e. Select rebuild.

And when I use the charm of Windows 8 search it doesn't do anything either, I can search for Apps, but not the files.

• Windows Desktop Search is not working properly

  For some time after 4 days my computer will be slow and does not respond well. If I stop and start again, a box appears saying that desktop search is not working properly and options to stop the computer, reboot and rebuild the index.  After that performance improves for a few days.  What is the problem? Your help is appreciated.

  slberry50,
  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

  Looks like the indexing service is not running, or stops for some reason any.  We will check the indexing service to see if it is set to automatically run first.
  Restart the Windows Search service
  Click Start, type services in the start search box and press ENTER.
  List programs, click Services.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or provide confirmation.
  Scroll down and locate the service which is the Windows Search label.
  Right-click the service and then click Properties.
  Set the startup type: automatic (delayed start).
  Click Start to start the service, and then click OK.

  Rebuild the database that is used by the search indexer
  Click Start, the index in the search box and press ENTER.
  List programs, click on Indexing Options.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or provide confirmation.
  Click Advanced.
  Click on rebuild and then click OK to the warning that appears.
  Click OK to close the Indexing Options.
  Note: From now on, the system must re - index documents and electronic mail. However, when indexing is complete, it is likely that the performance of the system will return to acceptable levels.

  Run a file system check to ensure that no file system is damaged:
  To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:
  Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.
  Right click on cmd in the list programs, and then click Run as administrator.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue
  At the command prompt, type the following line and press ENTER:
  sfc/scannow
  When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.

  If your computer continues to experience bad performance, here are some additional troubleshooting steps:

• Impossible to uninstall windows 10 tech preview

  My son installed the technical preview Windows 10 on my PC and now I am unable to uninstall or to revert to Windows 7. I have the 3 recovery DVDs I created when I got the PC, but even if they are appearing on my records they do not autorun.  I tried to access the start menu by rebooting - no luck. The recovery option only restores to a fresh 10 Windows.

  Hi Mick,

  You are welcome

  Install Windows from what is essentially a retail disk is usually less problematic than with recovery media, so I hope that there is no slack - just post back if there is.
