Windows search fails to find .VB, .VBProj and .snippet files contents; Control panel, Indexing, File types entry correct; folder access correct
Hi,
Windows 7 Indexer does not index .VB, .VBProj and .snippet files, even though:
The checkboxes in Indexing Options, Advanced, File Types, are checkedThe folders where the .VB, .VBProj and .snippet files reside
are indexed: for example, *.txt, *.docx, *.xlsx files in the same folders are indexed.Copies of the .VB, .VBProj and .snippet files, in the same folders as the .VB, .VBProj and .snippet files, but with txt as extension, are indexed.All the files are on the C: drive of the computer.Google Desktop indexes these .VB, .VBProj and .snippet files.
Thanks in advance for any leads/ideas.

Start---> Index Options ---> Advanced ---> Index Setting ---> Troubleshooting ---> Rebuild ---> ok
did not solve the problem: Windows 7 indexer re-indexed 12,331 files, but no *.vb. *.vbproj or *.snippet file. Again, Google desktop indexed *.vb, *.vbproj and *.snippet files.
I would appreciate any pointers/solution. Thanks!
