2014-04-14T11:00:37+00:00 OK, I figured out how to remove items in bottom box.
I cleared all of them except start menu.
It won't let me do that. Is this OK so far?

2014-04-14T10:41:43+00:00 OK, I got to this window. Indexed Locations.
Top box only had Internet Explorer History checked. I unchecked it.
Bottom box is Summary of selected locations:
Content X6
Documents
Music
Offline Web Pages
One Drive
Start Menu
Users
Visio Content
Then I clicked OK. Is this what you wanted me to do?
Then I did a restart because this page quite working.
