BUG - Indexing Options keep pointing to D drive rather than the C drive - search charm won't work
So I noticed that the search in my Windows 8.1 simply won't work to find files and settings. Then I went to Indexing Options in the Control Panel and I noticed that one of the locations Indexing was trying to point to is:
D:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\ (Unavailable)
This is odd since this is not the location of the Start Menu (which is in the C drive, not the D drive).
So I went on to remove this location and manually add the location of the Start Menu in the C drive (i.e. C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\).
To my surprise, adding the location in the C drive is actually listed as the D drive -- not the C drive. In Fact any directory I try to add to the Index located in the C drive is in fact listed as being in the D drive!
I'm at a loss here, and in fairness I reckon this is a bug.
Have anyone here ever experienced this? Is there any workaround?
EDIT: While the search does not work. It seems like the Windows Explorer search works without any issues.
Also I reckon it is worth mentioning that I change the location of my search index to the D drive. This is because my C drive is a Solid State Drive, while my D drive is a traditional Hard Drive.
Thanks in advance for the help.

P.
Hi,
I made a test in my fresh building Windows 8.1. Create a new drive and a new folder in it. After that, add the folder into Windows Index Location. When I delete the folder, its shows up as the screenshot below:
As you can see, it's same with yours, If I choose uncheck the Index folder and reopen Windows Index Location, it would be dispare from this panel.
While for your problem, actually, move the index location is no difference to your Windows search, it just change search file location.
To identify if this is a disk drive problem, you can opt to use Diskpart command to check your drive letter if it was correct.
Open Command Prompt with admin, then type diskpart.
Afer that, type list volume, check current disk label.

Attempting to download a wmv file. I keep getting the message: "You cannot save this document with extension “.wmv” at the end of the name. The required extension is “.webarchive” --if I save it this way, i just get a web address rather than the wmv
Find the URL for the WMV, paste it into Safari's address bar, and press the Option and Enter keys.

CSA MC 6 - How can I create an SSL Certificate that points to a name other than the hostname?
I have just installed CSA MC 6.0.2. My company has a bunch of customer's that are on different domains. We are all linked through VPN tunnels and would like to have all the agents point to a specific URL for updates rather than the hostname of the machine.
FQDN: testserver.abc123.internal
URL: thisserver.abc123.com
We already have everything setup so that the clients can reach thisserver.abc123.com but I need to create a certificate with this name without changing the server's hostname. We also don't wnat update their host files. Any ideas?
If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it as we're looking to start upgrading the agents on all servers ASAP.
Thank you,
CoryWhat about putting the CSAMC in your DMZ and allowing those ports through your firewall?
The nice thing is it allows hosts to communicate with the MC no matter where they are.
You'd have to open up 80 to the MC for software updates but we haven't had any problems in 6 years with that setup.

I switched from an iPhone to an LG g2, but now all my iMessages keep going to my old iPhone rather than the new one. I know the resolution to the problem is to turn off my iMessage, but I no longer have the iPhone because I sold it to the phone carrier. Question is how do I turn my iMessage off through a computer that is not a mac.

I have tried to log into clash of clans on my iPad and it just keeps going to a new game rather than the one saved on my iPhone. I have been using the game centre and same user name and password ?
I have the same problem.. EXACTLY. . When phoning Apple Support they had trouble understanding my problem and couldnt find any type of solution. No one seems to take responsibility for GameCenter issues. The assistant escalated the problem but no one could find an answer. .
The only idea was to set up a new apple id, hence a new GameCenter account. . But that would loose all the itunes data. Anyone got ideas ? -
Have a wrong email address which keeps popping up as a suggestion rather than the correct one which is in my contacts. How can I delete this? iPhone doesn't allow me to get to it to delete it like I can in Outlook.
I'm very glad that helped!
It's good you looked in the Manual first. Certainly not everyone does that.
With Apple products, I've found that not everything is completely documented, but sometimes if you try something that seems like it should work, it actually does work.
That's how I personally learned about this feature.
Enjoy your Apple gear! -
The lens correction option in Lightroom 5 is for the Tamron 28-75mm lens, rather than the correct Tamron 18-270mm, even though it's correct in the Library metadata. How can I fix this?
Are you shooting RAW or JPG or some of both?
When you say it won't let you change it, does that mean there are no lens profiles at all, or no lens profiles that match your lens? If you set Auto or Default you can select any lens you want from the list of manufacturers and profiles and then the Setup says Custom. Of course this lens may not be the correct lens, but saying you cannot change it suggests there are no manufacturers or lenses listed on the dropdowns.
Most lens profiles are for RAW only, so if you shoot a mixture of RAW and JPG then for the JPGs the lens profile may not exist. If you are enabling Lens Profiles and have Auto or Default set and it chooses the wrong one then it may just be choosing the top one in the list for Canon if the specific profile doesn't exist for JPGs.
If you are shooting raw and the profile does exist then you should be able to correct the situation: In the list select the correct profile, then choose Setup: Save New Lens Profile Defaults, and select Default from the Setup instead of Auto and it should pick the correct lens every time. Assuming it does do that, then you can set Enable Lens Profiles = checked and Setup: Default and set those as your new Lightroom Defaults and it should pick the right lens.
If you are shooting JPG then the lens profile may well not exist and there's nothing you can do about that except not shoot JPG. If you feel like it you can hack a raw profile to be a jpg profile and put that hacked copy in the user-lens-profile area and LR will see it. -

Can I boot the 380e bios upgrade from the cd drive rather than the floppy disk? I don't have any floppies around and I don't want to order them online just for this one task. The bios disk images are here. http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=DSHY-46AKPY
I'm sorry that I can't answer your CD vs diskette question, but you mention updating your 380E BIOS and the link you've included is for the 390E.
Here's the 380E BIOS link: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS001672
What version are you currently at?

Hi, I've purchased a new iPod Nano, and have downloaded the newest iTunes but when trying to connect to the store, it keeps spooling on "Accessing iTunes Store". In case this was an 'update' issue, I then downloaded and older version, but I have the same issue. My internet is working fine, firewall is set to allow itunes, I've changed the parental control, but nothing is letting me get to the store?
I got this error after upgrading to new version. After searching these pages for an answer and not finding a usable one, I simply quit and re-opened iTunes, and... voila! Problem solved!

With the new 3.6 tabbing behaviour (new tabs open to the right of the current tab, rather than at the end of the tab list), the old default behaviour when a tab is closed is no longer appropriate. Instead of displaying the next tab after the one that was closed, FF should display the previous one. Is there an about:config option to change the default behaviour upon closing a tab?
Try one of these:
*Tabberwocky: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/14439
*Tab Mix Plus: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1122
