Why Indexing Service switched on?
Posted by Terry Pinnell on February 21st, 2006


I was surprised to find that this option was enabled, yet I switched
it off years ago. Anyone know what might cause this, and whether it's
therefore necessary to check it frequently?

Windows Update probably.

Did you uninstall it in Add or Remove Programs?

Before disabling the Indexing Service, uninstall it in Add or Remove
Programs Control Panel applet.

Start | Settings | Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs |
Add/Remove Windows Components button on left hand side|
Scroll down to and UNCheck: Indexing Service | Finish |
Close Add or Remove Programs

Keep having fun, Terry. And remember occasionally Windows Update changes
all kinds of things. Just Microsoft's way of saying hello. ;-)
