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.

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!
