Can't see any entries on "File Types" tab on Windows 7's Desktop Search


For some reason, Windows Desktop Search (included with Windows 7.0) now no longer shows any file types on the "Advanced Options" dialog box. Any ideas on how to fix this? WDS claims to be indexing...but I'm not sure what it's actually indexing right now.

I should also add that when I try to add a file type, nothing shows up or is ever actually added. If I login as a different user on the same system, everything appears normally.



Answer



I fixed the issue by deleting and re-creating my Windows profile.
