balubeto Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 (edited) HIHow do, in Windows 7, I add a few directories (also belonging to a different partition from the system partition) to the default directories of Windows Search so that, when I create a new index, Windows 7 creates a new index with the default directories and my additional directories?THANKSBYE Edited February 6, 2010 by balubeto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is your last warning.Excuse me, but, when I click on "new index", my additional directories disappear and only the default directory of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\CrawlScopeManager\Windows\SystemIndex\DefaultRules keys of the Windows registry are reintroduced. In other words, I might add, permanently, some additional directories to those keys.THANKSBYE Edited February 7, 2010 by balubeto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I don't know if you can or cannot add a key to that list, but I've not tried - the UI has always worked properly for me. Also, those keys are there for the ISearchCrawlScopeManager API, so I'm not sure modifying it directly is a good idea. There does exist a set of group policies (local or otherwise) that you can configure under Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Search that allow you to set the default indexed paths, excluded paths, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
