davey Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Hi Some of you will find it very interesting, enjoy ! : http://lifehacker.com/5033518/debunking-co...-tweaking-myths Regards Eli Hi Eli, Thanks for the link. Nothing like a good refresher to stay up-to-date. If they were old wives tales then I would definitely put a lot of trust in them. Since they are myths, then I can be assured they are founded on old outdated data or just plain incorrect data or misinterpreted data . davey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow that brought back a memory of Inspector Clouseau's lines: Meorths?

Icedrake Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 So should I disable my Indexing Service? I almost NEVER use Search in Windows XP. Also, should I create a restore point, before I uncheck allow Indexing Service in My Computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted August 8, 2008 Moderators Share Posted August 8, 2008 So should I disable my Indexing Service? I almost NEVER use Search in Windows XP. You can set it to manual then see how things go for a day or two, it isn't like it can't be set back to Automatic. I've never liked the search function in XP, and never will.

davey Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 You can set it to manual then see how things go for a day or two, it isn't like it can't be set back to Automatic. I've never liked the search function in XP, and never will. Hi Andavari, I have started using the new Windows Search 4.0. It allows for selective indexing and you can still use old "Rover or ToTo" if you like. So now you have 2 indexers you can play with. The Windows Search Indexer also has an Indexer "Snooze" button.
