I'm running Windows 7 x64. I was looking to add PDF indexing to Windows search and found that when I look at Control Panel, Indexing Options, Advanced, File Types - the file types listing is empty. The condition is referenced in this question, but the solution seems a bit draconian.

Any ideas on how to fix this?
