I have the same issues with X8 an Windows 7. The exact same thing with the back button no longer working at all, and not being able to focus on a window until CTRL+ALT+DEL-ing. This is definitely a hardware RELATED issue, because it happened in the installation environment as well. I think maybe it's a receiver issue, but not sure how to test such a thing.

Be careful, clicking Rebuild will toss away all the previous indexing, sending you back to square one. I have a Windows 7 Gadget for Indexing, but there is no way that I have found to say "Use all resources and CPU cycles to speed up the Indexing process NOW".   No way to put the Index process into overdrive, you know? That would be very handy.

Plain Documents folder icon?
Published (2009-12-18 21:56:00)
Problem The "Documents" folder appears as a plain icon when accessed via two different locations from the Vista Desktop UI and doesn't work as expected.  However, the redirected "Pictures", "Music" and "Videos" folders which all follow the "Documents" folder, have their correct icons (translucent Green) displayed under both issue scenarios...

I'm using this add in for index and search my account in Outlook. With Lookeen you can also add any folder on your system to be included in the search index... As I could experience it fortunately does the indexing in the back not using that much resources. So far it found almost everything I intended to look for :) Maybe worth a look and try...

this problem might possibly have something to do with the enabling of web content. I had a similar problem under XP and recently rectified it by reenabling web content on the desktop. Just make sure to double check that the registry entry isn't there after enabling active content under gpedit.msc, not sure if that would occur in vista though but I had to under XP.

I notice you have double-posted and I have replied to this one. As you don’t have the two registry keys mentioned in the other thread, try creating them: Click the Windows Orb (Start), type regedit, press Enter and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop and right-click in the right pane > New > DWORD, type the name WallpaperOriginX and press Enter. Double-click the name and...

I'm in your same situation.  Didn't the same happen with the Luna interface in XP?  Unless Microsoft releases some kind of theme the way they did with Zune, it won't be possible.  Of course, one could use third-party skinning programs, but those needlessly take up memory.

I hate this as well. It is a make/break issue for us, along with the lack of being able to drag files into the command prompt. Why does MS modify core functionality and not give you the ability to turn it back on? I have searched high and low for a fix for this to no avail.
