Windows Search - How to Add folders for indexing - automatically

Hello All,

Can you please confirm, if there is any Manager interface available for adding Folders to Windows Search

Also if we can do such configurations, is it possible to configure indexing time (What are the limits for the same)

Please confirm if there are any Code sinpeets somewhere

Thanks in advance,

Anil

Hi,

Thanks for your inputs.

The Apis AddScopeRule APIs are working fine in XP

But they are not working in the Vista.

I get exception - as AccessDenied.

I think there is a security issue with File System and using APIs I am not able to add it.

Thanks And Regards,

Anil

Did you try running your app as adminstrator

Yes,

It works fine when I run it as Administrator.

But since I am the Administrator - of my desktop, it should work fine.

Please let me know - if I need to do anything special for the Vista applications to make sure that they work in any mode.

Regards,

Anil

Even when you are logged in as a member of the Administrator's group, not everything you run automatically runs with admin privileges. This is because of Vista's new security feature, UAC. See this article for details:

Hi,

I have tried many things till now.

The only solution I see - is having COM wrapper which itself can be elevated. When called from cleint - this elevated COM wrapper would in turn call all WDS APIs.

IF anyone of us have written something like this, please let us know.

Thanks And Regards,

Anil

Did you try running your tool as administrator

Right-click > Run as Administrator.

Run As Administrator works.

But I dont want that since for standard user - addition and deletion of scope rule does not require any special priviliges when using control panel.

I am still investigating any options where I can perform it in the background (code) without admin elevation.

Regards,

Anil
