I made a post on the MSDN forums but I received no help. If you read it
though it will detail the steps I've already taken to correct the problem,
none of which worked. It'll help when you make suggestions that I might
already have tried.

Anyway. A brief synopsis of my problem:
Using either the Windows Explorer Search box at the top right hand corner of
a Windows Explorer Folder or the Search box in the Start Menu I am unable to
find certain files. They are usually *.exe's or *.rar's or *.zip's which I
have downloaded. I can find some but not others.
Rebuilding the Index or restoring the defaults, in Control Panel => Indexing
Options => Advanced, does nothing to help. My setting for *.zip's, *.exe's
and *.rar's are "Index Properties Only" and yet it doesn't help. I can find
SOME *.exe's but not others. The same goes for the rest of the files.
I can't tell why it can find some and not others when it has all of them
indexed. It doesn't seem to matter what directory it's in but the majority of
the time I notice this problem in "C:\Users\[me]\Downloads".
Please will someone help! I don't want to have to pay Microsoft 70 euros for
customer support because of their defective product!
