WDS 3 not indexing "My Documents" Haplo 10-31-2006

I downloaded the new RTW 3.0 and it can no longer index files in the "My
Documents" folder!
I can't even see it in the "select folder to index"-Pane. I think the
problem is, that I dedicated an entire partition of my harddisk for the "My
Do´cuments"-folder and did not assign it a driveletter - instead it is
provided as a folder under "Documents and Settings", which is very nice and
I don't want to change it just for version 3.0 to see it... Up to 2.6.5 it
worked like a charm.

Any help an this would be appreciated! Thanks.

I get something similar. I go to Options/Advanced, and it displays
Outlook, and everyone elses (on this PC) OE folders, but not my
documents.

If I modify, and take out the other users OE folders, and include My
Documents, it will index fine.

However, it does not save my preferences between reboots, and reverts
to the original without My Documents, and with all the other users OE
folders.
