I dual boot Vista C:\ and XP D:\ (physical drives)
I noticed today that within XP my C:\ drive had indexing turned on. As I try
to hide my Vista drive from XP (TweakUI) I turned indexing off for that C:\
drive. (from within XP my computer properties)
When I booted to Vista I discovered that indexing was now turned off for the
C:\ Vista drive. When looking at "Indexing Options" from within Vista there
are no "Included Locations" although there are 83,568 items indexed.
So question is... is this the way it works? While removing the indexing from
C:\ Vista while booted to XP there was a lot of activity while attributes
were being changed to the C:\ *.* files.
I will now turn indexing back on from within Vista as I like the quick
search results. I'm wondering if Vista will have to do a new and complete
index of its C:\ drive. Wondering about the ..... wait a minute. As I type
that 83,568 number is shrinking. Down to 78K and dropping.... I just turned
indexing back on from Vista My Computer C:\ properties. Lots of disk
activity again and message "applying attributes to ... *.*". Big number
still dropping... down to 75K. Still applying attributes.
Applying attributes is now complete but my items indexed number is still
dropping. (59K) Maybe it's time for a reboot.
I'll be back.
