Microsoft's malware scanner (home essentials) scans network drives as well as local by *default*. I had to make sure to list any network drives in the exclusions section (which it seems to honor). Sorta odd how their builtin OS 'search' command cannot index remote drives**, but their virus scanner, by default, is able to do so. **-can only use the remote server's index via its 'federated search capability' which delegates the search of the remote file system to the remote search program -- of course its only available on MS systems, so indices of non-MS, network attached storage (NAS) isn't available. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
