2014-04-14T08:19:59+00:00 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!

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.

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

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.
