Windows XP Tips
Turning Off Indexing Speeds Up
Windows XP
As some of you will already know, Windows XP keeps a
record of all files on the hard disk to try and improve searching speed. The
only downside to all of this is that your PC will have to be indexing all of
the files, so if you don't use search very much you can disable this
feature:
- Open my computer
- Right click on one of your hard drive
icons and then select properties.
- At the bottom of the window you should
see "Allow indexing service to index this disk for faster searches,"
uncheck this and click then click on ok.
- A new window will pop up and select
apply to all folders and subfolders. Once complete, it takes a few more
minutes to make sure that indexing is now switch off.
