To reset the list of folders to its initial state, click Default.
- Select Index only following folders to define folders that you want to index. You can add or delete folders to index using the Add and Remove buttons on the right. You can also use system environment variables to form the list, for example: %windir%, %ProgramFiles% and %Temp%.
