So far the fix for 2 of my co-workers machine was to rebuild the index. It's only been a few days but they haven't told me its broke again.
Control Panel
View Small or Large icons to see the entire list.
Indexing Options
Click Advanced
Click Rebuild.
Click Ok
Click close on the indexing window once the rebuild is complete.
Hope this helps others
we don't understand this from the very first sentence. What control panel do you speak? somewhere with file explorer or back within windows OS? We can't follow any of this as 'indexing option' where is this? Rebuild...where is this? have let several people look at this and they couldn't help either.
You can find the Control Panel by hitting Start and typing "Control Panel" (without the quotes.) Click on the Control Panel result to open it. Then follow the rest of the above instructions. You can either rebuild the indexes or modify them to ensure they don't contain invalid entries, as described here. Remember to reboot the PC once either the rebuild or the modification (whichever you choose) is complete.
