removing deleted file names from 'start search'
- Hi, I have just bought a used Dell laptop for my young son, I would like to know how to stop file names of some lets say 'interesting' deleted files appearing when I/he types a query into the start menu search. The files have all been deleted by the previous owner but the file names are still come up and are erm.. not for kids! Thanks in advance, Scott (Windows Vista Home Premium with SP 2)1 person got this answerI do too

The above link will give you the info on how to re-build it, to get of "lost" references.
You have to do it every now and again to refresh it.
Cheers.
