Vista Speed Secret #4: Shutdown Search Indexing

your system to make their information available for quick searching.
This is helpful, but can severely slow system performance as the
average user doesn’t use the search function frequently.
To shut down constant indexing:
1. Click the Start button
2. Select Computer
3. Right-click on the C: Drive icon
4. Select Properties
5. Select the General Tab
6. Uncheck Index this drive for faster searching
7. On the next dialog box, select Apply Changes to Drive C:,
subfolders and files
8. Click OK
