In windows vista's search indexing options, currently, file types like html, txt are set to "index file properties and contents" . I know that each file type can be individually changed to "index properties only".. but I want to set "index properties only" for all file types.

IMO its quite an needy option that is sorely missing from this neat Vista feature.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I guess there isn't an option

maybe I'll do it manually. Any idea how I could backup these setttings. Any registry key where indexing settings are stored?

ty

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\Gather\Windows\SystemIndex\Extensions\ExtensionList

but precisely

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\
