Default Do I need Windows indexing?

You need to adjust your Indexing Options to get
the desired indexing coverage.

This is from another post and wasn't intended as a demo
or anything. You have to flip the "" next to C:
and drill down until you find items corresponding
to "Data; Temp; CSC; Temp". Then tick the missing
box so the item gets indexed.

In any case, the tool should not index the folder that
holds Windows.edb, as that would cause the Indexer to loop.

One of the "Data" items might be C:\ProgramData , but unless
you've adjusted your File Explorer view settings to make
system files visible or whatever, it may not show up
in a normal view of C: .

Thanks for that, I've overlooked that Control Panel option. Of
course the fact I couldn't find the file oosu10.exe was due to not
knowing the filename, not the indexing options.


If the file had metadata, the metadata about the EXE
might get indexed. I don't know what fields of
an EXE are in the index. Perhaps "company:" would work.

company&o

It might be signed EXE files that have metadata.
There seem to be at least two kinds of EXEs in
any case.
