This setting enables you to modify the search options used for files and folders. You can allow searching for files and folders in the tape backup system/device.

Tweak for : Windows XP, Windows 2003

Description:

This setting enables you to modify the search options used for files and folders. "Search tape backup" option searches for the specified files in your tape backup system/device, if you have one.

NOTE:
Tape backup means that you keep a supplement copy of your data on a cartridge tape. This measure protects you from loss of data like disk crash etc.

For this, go to Start > Run menu, enter “regedit” and navigate to the registry path listed below. You can create a DWORD value “SearchSlowFiles”, if this value does not exist.

Now, right-click and modify the value to “1” which can search for files and folders in tape backup. However, if you want to exclude the option, change the value to “0”.

The changes take effect after a restart or logoff.
