Windows 10 actually at least indexes shortcuts on the desktop and sub-directories

After research, this needs a dll to interact with the System Indexing within windows. This really, means that in reality somone is going to need to use a GUI to change this.

This really goes beyond the scope of automation. Will add an instruction on the readme, to fix indexing
