I would like to pass along a solution to outlook hanging up when signing on.

Here is the scenario:

I ctrl/alt/del to get out and then when signing on again it would put me in
safe mode
I also notice that changing file names or setting up new folders also hung
up vista. All of this relates to the search index which apparently had been
clobbered.

The solution is as follows:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/WINDOWS SEARCH
CLICK ON THE WINDOWS SEARCH FOLDER and then change the value of
SetUpCompletedSuccessfully to 0

Open Indexing Options (you can find this in help "When should I rebuild my
index") click on the advance button
click on the rebuild

I could not have figured this out without the help of others on the internet
but noticed that there were so many different versions. Finally this one hit
the spot

thanks
barry

Also. Never use a Registry Tool of any kind to avoid these type of issues
