I have some of my programs installed under D:\Program Files
I added this path in the "Indexing Options" and now when i type in the search box of start menu does show files from these folders, but they (*.exe) appear under Files subsection instead of Programs... which is further down and I have to press the down key so many times to reach them...
e.g., I have Notepad++ installed at D:\Program Files\npp\Notepad++.exe
Now I start keying "notepad" in the start menu's search box... it shows Notepad.exe under Programs and Notepad++.exe under Files
Any way to get Notepad++.exe under Programs or a shortcut to jump to Files section of the Start menu Search results?
1BTW, when you install programs they usually put a shortcut to themselves in the start-menu, unless you choose not to where they give you the option. I think Notepad++ does this as-well, so the problem described probably stems from having chosen not to have that shortcut there in the first place. – Eran – 2011-02-08T13:29:14.153
I am using the zip package from NP++ and not the installer. – Nirmal Patel – 2011-02-16T13:06:59.863
