I'm using Windows Vista's search index service to quickly launch programs by typing "windows key" +"name of program".
However I'm having a hard time trying to understand why certain files won't appear.
I want to launch "pageant.exe" located in "C:\Program Files\Putty" with this method but it doesn't show up in the results.
In the index search options I said I wanted to index the "Start menu" and "C:\Program Files".
I've checked that .exe files are indeed indexed and they are. I've also tried to completly rebuild the index with no luck.
What am I doing wrong ?
