Is this usability at its best?


I just got the Microsoft desktop indexing Engine installed via online update. I wanted to configure it, so it will not search and index every file on my computer, but only a few selected datatypes. But the dialog is a mess! You have a miles long list for each file-suffix and you cannot, I repeat: you CAN NOT switch all checkboxes on or off with one click, but you have to click on each checkbox. Please note this small scrollbar which indicates the ridiculous number of entries.
What are this Microsofties doing in their offices?
Maybe they need to click on all this checkboxes..
