Hi, I'm having a little problem with Windows Indexing service. My boss wants
to have indexing running on his laptop. So here's what I did.

1. I started the indexing service (it started, no problem)
2. I went to Computer Managemenet/Services&Applications/IndexingService
3. I created a directory (My Documents) and right clicked and started a
manual scan.

Nothing happens. It says that it's going to start but nothing ever happens.
Can anyone please help me with this issue???

Thanks
Kathy
