Default Cannot Modify Indexed Locations for Windows Indexing Options in Vista



I am having problems with Windows Search Indexing using excessive
amounts of CPU and slowing down my system and want to decrease the
number of locations and/or file extensions being indexed to see if this
helps the problem. However, when I try to modify the indexed locations
(Control Panel | Indexing Options | Modify), the Change Selected
Locations pane is empty (i.e., there are no check boxes to enable or
disable). If I click the Show All Locations button, my hard drive chugs
away for about 15 seconds and then both the Indexed Locations and
Indexing Options windows close and prevent me from making any changes.

Whenever this failure happens I simultaneously generate a COM Surrogate
error that can be viewed in Control Panel | Problem Reports and
Solutions with the following details:


Problem signature

I’ve tried restoring the indexing defaults and rebuilding the entire
index (Control Panel | Indexing Options | Advanced | Index Settings tab
| Restore Defaults) but I still can’t modify the indexed locations.

I've checked my user account (Control Panel | User Accounts) and
confirmed that my account type is Administrator, but I have a sneaking
suspicion that the UAC does not always recognize that my account has
Administrator rights.
