This line is commented out (see that '#' at the beginning on the line?).
That leading hash mark means "this line is a comment".  So it's ignoring
your change.  Try creating an Index line that's not commented out:

Index            C:\namazu\var\namazu\x-index

(notice the lack of the leading hash mark)..

You should keep it called .namazurc.  The file namazurc needs to live
in the "central" config location...  BUt I have no idea where that is
on Windows.
