IMPORTANT: This article contains information about editing the registry.
Before you edit the registry, make sure you understand how to restore it
if a problem occurs. For information about how to do this, view the
"Restoring the Registry" Help topic in Regedit.exe or the "Restoring a
Registry Key" Help topic in Regedt32.exe.
SYMPTOMS
After you remove files, queries against Index Server still return links to
the deleted files.
CAUSE
When Index Server catalogs a document, if the document has both a long
filename and a short (8.3) filename, both filename entries are indexed.
However, when you delete a file from the file system, only a notification
to remove the short filename from the catalog occurs. The entries for the
long filename stay in the catalog.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, upgrade to Windows 2000 Indexing Service.
WORKAROUND
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that
may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot
guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry
Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys
And Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and
Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics
in Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit
it. If you are running Windows NT, you should also update your Emergency
Repair Disk (ERD).
To work around this problem, change the value of
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Filesystem\DisableNTFS
8dot3NameCreation to 1. This disables the creation of 8.3 (short) filename
entries for long filename entries. Be aware that this may have a negative
effect on Legacy applications.
STATUS
This problem has been corrected in Windows 2000 Indexing Service.
