Hi and welcome to the site!
Maybe you didn't fully grasp the concept of Locate? Since it's so blazing fast because it accesses databases of your files those databases need to be updated. Check the screenshot of the "Auto Update" tab in https://www.donation...dex.php?topic=1385.0 (last screenshot in my posting). If you didn't add any scheduled updates there, just do that.

Hello brotherS.
Thank you for the reply. I didn't misunderstand how Locate32 works but maybe I didn't make it clear enough (I just said it indexes the files on a PC).
However I am not referring to updating Locate's indexes by using scans.
Instead, I am referring to the settings which are under UPDATE RESULTS. I can either:
(a) disable updating (file info from database)
(b) enable updating (info corresponds files)
If I choose (b) then I can select from:
(i) do not track file system changes
(ii) track file system changes
(iii) track file system changes (old method).
--------
It is these settings which confuse me. I have no idea what they are trying to do or how they do it!
Can you or anyone else help me out.
As I said, I half-hope they can reduce the number of "old/moved" hits which Locate32 comes across as I have no need to see those at all!
Thanks for any help.
