A. Attachment indexing is normally enabled by default, but you can also set it by performing these steps:

  1. Start Windows Desktop Search (Start, Programs, Windows Desktop Search).
  2. Select Desktop Search Options from the options menu, as the figureshows.
  3. Ensure that "Index e-mail attachments" is selected.
  4. Click OK.

    My desktop search options doesn't list attachments. It lists included locations.

    I want to index and search attachments from a favorite public folder. Will windows desktop search do this?
