[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 809086, member: 24160"] Had something similar - removed the plist file - thinking that would be it in this case, because that is where the info related to your user account (such as what you've added to the privacy tab) would be stored. It is located at user/Library/Preferences/com.apple.spotlight.plist Move it to the desktop, log out and back in. I've been using this as my 2nd choice after cleaning with Onyx or MainMenu. Removing the plist file and letting it create a new one seems to fix a multitude of random issues with individual programs. If it fixes it, you can go ahead and trash the file. [/QUOTE]
