Windows 7 won't index a network drive

My Windows XP and Vista (via patch) will allow the indexing of a network drive.  Don't Win 7 - one giant step backwards?  I store a large amount of files on a shared drive.  I traced the drive in Win7, but it is not possible to index.  It MUST be a hack/solution/patch for this, it is simply too a basic requirement.  All solutions?
Thank you

Well MS provided hotfix KB2268596. Try to install the fix, add the EnableSearchingSlowLibrariesInStartMenu DWORD reg value, then install the UNC addin and try to rebuild the index. This return search now the results of the network in places like search?

  • Windows Search can not index the A: drive

    Do not assign the letter 'A' on a disk partition, because Windows Search does not index the A: drive. I made a Win7 installation on a system with a SSD boot drive and a conventional hard drives.

    I did my data to partition the A: drive and moved my files user for this partition. Windows Search could not find anything on this drive until I assigned a different drive letter to the partition.

    I know that there are very few machines with floppy drive.

    Is always the convention however that readers and B are reserved for floppy drives and will be until there is no more floppy drives on the left.

    If you connect a USB external floppy drive on your machine, it is the reader, NOT the D or E or F or any other letter.

    Therefore, it is not a good plan to designate any partition on a HARD disk as drive A...

  • 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!

  • Windows XP Embedded no initialization of network drives

    I'm developing a c# application that runs on Windows XP Embedded and recording data on a network drive. I mounted this drive in Windows like X:\ and set it to "Reconnect at startup.

    However, after the restart, if I run my application, I get an error "could not find a part of the path"X:\filename.csv"
    If I open windows Explorer, the network drive exists. If I double click to open it, the file exists. If I restart the application after you have done this, the application will then work perfectly.
    It seems that even if the disk has been added, it is not initialized at startup and can not be used by applications. Only when you manually select it become initialized.
    Is it possible to automatically initialize this drive to make it accessible?

    Create a batch file to perform the boot container...

    ; delay for 60 seconds
    PING 1.1.1.1 n 1 w 60000 > ZERO
    ; Removes current mapped drive
    NET use x:/d
    ; Remappe drive x
    NET use x: \\ThePcName\TheShareFolderName

    Right now, your drive is mapped, but it is not set to automatically connect at startup or the network connection is slow, manually by opening the Player X:\ you initialize it.
    The batch file waits 60 seconds in order to give time to pc to establish connectivity network and maps the drive, so the connection to the drive is there before running your program.
    To ensure that your computer never automatically disconnects / times out from the network.
    • Open command prompt
    • Type in net config server/autodisconnect:-1
    • Then press enter
  • Program running as local administrator in Windows XP needs to access a network drive

    I just write a batch file to automatically run a program in Windows XP as a local administrator.  I had to do to get the program to work right.  However, the program cannot access network drives to save the files even if the user who is connected has access to these network resources.  How can I give an a running program as a Windows XP local administrator the possibility to access and back up the files on a network share?

    I found a solution for this.  I had to add the same user a local administrator on the server with network drives.  This solves the problem.

  • Comments Windows 7 does not install the network driver?

    Hello.

    I downloaded latest Win7 RC and installed on a virtual machine in VMware workstation. It not installed the virtual NIC driver so I have no internet!

    I googled the problem and it turns out that some people have reported this problem, and it came with a solution which in turn off the virtual machine, remove the network adapter, turn on the virtual machine, turn off again, to add a new and finally turn on the virtual machine - as described in this forum:

    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itproinstall/thread/b5843189-d519-4e8a-a4f8-f1e671b341b6.

    I did and I've also updated vmware workstation (I have version 6.5.2 build 156735) and updated tools vmware on windows 7 and nothing worked. I have an another vm with XP and everything goes smoothly with networking and fully operational internet.  I used the win7 help and he pointed out this particular problem: there is no device installed network driver? Any suggestions?

    Each virtual machine can be started by double-clicking its vmx file.

    It is a plain text file. You can open it in every good text editor. Do not use scamblers text such as WORD and nonsense.

    You can compare the vmx file with the list of material that you give to the man behind the counter to your computer-friendly dealer store.

    You can add line at the end of this file - make sure you just you have twice the same line

  • Mapped network drive is no administrator cmd.exe

    If I open a command prompt I can navigate to G: very well.  But if I run the command prompt as long as administrator (type 'cmd', right-click on "cmd.exe" and choose "Run as Administrator") it is said:

    "The system cannot find the drive specified."

How can I get Firefox to automatically save Favorites, for example when I leave FF, in one of these folders, for example "Documents"? While it is automatically saved in a place where the drive of my PC crashes.

  • How can I connect my Mac to a network server? As in windows yo go to my computer / connection to a network drive, and then you select a letter and write the name of the server that you want to be logged

    I'm trying to adapt Windows to my new MacBook Pro with OS El Capitan.

    I work remotely for a company and I want to connect my Mac to the server of the company.

    My question is how to connect a MAc to a network drive with the permanently available connection.  For example, in my old HP I went to my computer / connection to a network drive. I've selected a letter and note the name of the server that I wanted to be connected to. The connection was then shown with my other drive hard 'sections '; I want to say C:, D: (for recovery), e: (for tools) and then connecting to the external server has been shown with the selected letter.

    There is no "letter" under OS X. It's a hangover very old of BACK, devices of mapping and volumes labeled mailbox.

    If you are connected to your corporate network, you should see the available network volumes listed in the Finder, in ' my computer > network ", or with the command K to connect to a server.

    You can create an alias for the volume and put it in the Dock, or leave on the desktop or put it somewhere else, and the next time you want to connect to this subject, simply double-click on it. You can also add the server address to your "favourites" in the connect to Server dialog box.
