Indexing network drives in windows 7 64 bit

Question

prior to "upgrading" windows 7 I used a Microsoft add in to index my network drives, but it its not compatible with the windows 64 bit OS. Are there plans to update this add on or another way to index my NAS files on my local PC?  The device
runs linux on the backend so I cannot install anything on the server.
The existing add on is located below:

I think I found a solution to the basic problem as it exists in my work environment - note that I'm on a domain computer with UAC activated and enforced.  Here's what I did:
Went to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee844140(v=ws.10).aspx and set the EnableLinkedConnections DWORD to 1 as shown in the article.
Created my network shares - for example I mapped drive S: to \\netshares.company.com\depts\sales\rep1\ and drive T: to \\netshares.company.com\depts\shared\salesreports\
The problem is that my shares are not the root folder and I don't have UAC access to the root folder (or even most of the folders in the folder path) and one can't just go to My Computer and right click on the mapped drive and set up offline files because it
doesn't appear in that menu.
So - I went to Control Panel, Sync Center, Manage offline files, View your offline files, and in that 'explorer' window select Mapped Drives, right click on each mapped drive, select  Always available offline.
Woo Hoo!  Somehow that worked for me.
