Windows Desktop Search will not list a folder of mine with specal
characters in the name. (I can't change the name now because my folder's
name is referred to a lot on my PC).

If I go to Options > Indexing > Browse and look through the folders, the
folder with special characters is not shown.

And that dialog will not accept it if I try to add the name (with path)
at the bottom of the window. No message, just a warning sound.

How can I force WDS to index this folder?

Andy



PS. The folder name is "DOWNLOADED FILES =====" (without quotes).
