    When I press Windows + W and type in indexing options. I don't get this. I get Folder Options.

    And this computer has been checked for malware and viruses, and there are none. I don't know how to get to what you are showing. Windows key on keyboard + W does not get me to this window. I have tried 6 times now. Is there another way? I really do appreciate all your help!

      Hello. Thanks for the reply. I did exactly what you said 3 times. There is no MODIFY option.

    Any other Ideas? I do appreciate every ones help. But this does not work here.

    Modify is a button on the lower left side of the dialog box.

    If I didn't have so much money invested in this computer, I would take

    it outside and beat it with a 5lb Hammer!!!!!

    Also It starts every time I start the computer. If I don't start task manager and kill it, it

    takes about 20 minutes for the computer to completely start. Icons stay white on desktop and

    every thing is dog poop SLOW. Takes task manager 4 or 5 minutes just to start. It OWNS

    this computer. Not Me.
