It's been quite a while, but I most likely used a method quite similar to the ones described in the following URLs. I've had to do it more than once, when you nuke & pave, then reinstall, indexing got reactivated. I might even have used both methods repeatedly depending upon how I searched for a quick solution. I know there are other methods, and you may even get multiple other suggestions. Still indexing off was a major improvement with XP. It will soon be a memory for me and just that fortunately unless I'm silly enough to triple or quad boot to keep XP running. http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp http://www.windowsreference.com/windows-xp/how-to-turn-off-windows-indexing-service-in-xp/ ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
