Post by: toasty0 on June 01, 2005, 09:25:37 am

If you notice your XP system getting a bit slow lately here is one thing your can do to address it.

• Double click My Computer.
  
• Select View | Explorer Bar | Search.
  
• Click Change Preferences.
  
• Select Without Indexing Service.
  
• Click No, do not enable Indexing Service.
  
• Click OK.

Toasty, that option for me IS turned off. (running WinXP w/ SP2 already intregrated).

But for thoughs of you who do not have SP2, do what the man says. ;D

You know, I have run across that "service" but never gave it any thought.  There are times it looks like my kids' Athlon XP 2500+ system is speedier than my Athlon 64 3000+.  It always made me scratch my head.  Thanks, Toast!
