So, you better leave the indexing service switched on and then do the following: let your PC turned on overnight. You will notice much HDD-operation. But thereafter, these terrible HDD-activities will be much less. Axel |

| | Re: Removing indexing service Well, before I received all these replies I allow the indexing to be turned off. It took quite a while to be done and now i've rebooted. I figure I can always turn it back on. I hadn't noticed any difference with HDD operations or speed of access and I often leave my laptop on overnight. However, I'm still curious to see if anything else speeds up. It was an advised move and I figure I can always turn the indexing back on - right?

| | Re: Removing indexing service You can always turn it on or off. The best recommendation is to lease it, since one of the top highlights of Vista is the Instant Search capabilities. Other operating systems such as Mac OS X Tiger or Leopard usually are slow at first too, since they spend time indexing the system, but this usually improves over a few days. It can be especially slow after an upgrade or if you have lots and lots of files. -- Andre Blog: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com My Vista Quickstart Guide: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com/blog...3DB!9709.entry "belindaloo" <belindaloo@xxxxxx> wrote in message news  21B3AB3-3D52-4622-B8FD-426F7C635B86@xxxxxxQuote: > Well, before I received all these replies I allow the indexing to be > turned > off.

| | Re: Removing indexing service Okay, this is most likely true for me because I rarely use a search function - tho it is improved in Vista. I'll try it for a while and see. As to Greg's comment - don't assume the worst in people.
