Windows Desktop Search 3.01 for Windows XP (KB917013)

Windows Desktop Search (WDS) 3.01 is a minor update to Windows Desktop Search 3.0 that adds: support for indexing UNC files, additional support for enterprise deployment, and stability improvements. WDS 3.01 installs on Windows XP and Window Server 2003, but is not needed for Windows Vista since the WDS component is already included in Vista. Windows Desktop Search 3.01 helps you to find, preview, and use your documents, e-mail, music, photos, and other items. The search engine in Windows Desktop Search 3.01 is a Windows service that is also used by applications such as Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 and OneNote 2007 to index application content and deliver instant results when searching within that application.

If you choose to install and use Windows Desktop Search, you can search for e-mail, documents and other files located on your computer. No information about the files on your computer will be sent to Microsoft as part of this process. Instead, Windows Desktop Search will index the content of your computer and store the index file on your computer. You can customize Windows Desktop Search to index only specified folders on your computer. Windows Desktop search will not store copies of e-mail or documents after they are deleted.

Note WDS 3.01 can be installed as a new install or as an upgrade from 02.05.xxxx, 02.06.xxxx or 03.00.0000. On an upgrade from 03.00.0000, you will not need to rebuild your index.

This download package can be installed via update.exe or MSI. Both of these include the ADM File and Add-in for Files on Microsoft Networks.

After you install these items, you may have to restart your computer.

Hi All,

Here is the current list of Widows XP Pre-SP3 hotfixes which are available from MS, but only if you ask for them:

<snip>

Superseeded by KB873392: 
KB885843 - No results are returned when you search for files or for folders over a slow network link in Windows Server 2003 or in Windows XP

If anyone has any of these hotfixes please consider sharing them so we can add them to Autopatcher.

Kind Regards

Simon

Figured I'd contribute:

I just picked a random host, since the file is too big to attach. Probably violates their TOS. Any better places to post?

well, i was testing the new updates from this week and i've realize that now KB892130 and KB905474 are mandatory. not just one, but booth. KB892130 is now at version 1.7.0036.0 and KB905474 is at version 1.7.0018.5. by the way: this was the first time that i saw KB923789 be installed fine

KB936357 - "This is a reliability update. Install this microcode update to improve the reliability of systems with Intel processors."

This update includes a new Update.sys file so it replaces the old KB885626 update, which come out right after Service Pack 2 was released to fix some installation problems of SP2 with Celeron D Processors.

Windows2000-KB917422-x86-ENU.EXE update can be removed. i think its probably included in the recent cumulative update for IE (KB933566).

No. The files in this update have nothing to do with the latest cumulative IE update. The update that replaced this one is the KB935839.

Software Update for Web Folders (KB907306)

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...splaylang=en%20

Overview

This download enables you to update the Web Folders component in Microsoft Windows operating systems, and provides additional functionality.

The article describes the Software Update for Web Folders that is dated March 15, 2007. This update fixes various issues that occur when you use Web folders from your client computer to connect to a server that supports Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV). Additionally, this update includes security enhancements to Web folders.

Supported Operating Systems

Windows 2000; Windows Server 2003; Windows Vista; Windows XP

Side Note: This update is a must have for anyone connecting (or tried to connect) through WebDAV in Windows Vista. I am finally able to connect, but it is still not perfect (like it was under Windows XP).

parkd1, that link says that to try solve that, you need:

- kb927891 (already included in core release);

- windows update v3 (already included in core release and, if i'm not mistaken, with critical turned on, despide it be at WINDOWS_COMPONENTS_PARENT )

but that thing about microsoft update really can be a boring thing...

KB907306: this update is listed since some time ago, but thanks ms, only english version have v2. all other languages are still at v1, that is included in ap since some time ago

Version 2 fixes issues experienced in Vista. This should be included in the core. At the very least the English version.

Three more updates/add-ons missing from Windows Vista:

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.
