I have the following problem with Windows desktop search.
We have a network share, with a hidden folder for snapshots. If you descend
to this hidden folder, it looks like there are about 20 copies of all the
files on the network share.
Windows desktop search is indexing this hidden folder and is therefore
bloating the search results by a factor of 20.
Because the folder is hidden, I cannot tell Windows desktop search to
exclude it. I cannot unhide this share as it is a function of the Filer. I
don't have the privilege to change the properties of this folder.
I have tried simulating the default exclusion that can be set by group
policy by creating the relevant registry keys. I know this is working
because I have also done it for a local folder. However Windows desktop
search still indexes my hidden folder on the network share despite being told
not to.
Is there any way I can get Windows desktop search to ignore hidden or system
folders?
Thanks
