That was too simple. &nbsp;Thanks so much. &nbsp;Do you have any idea why it would take hours to build an index? &nbsp;I'm assuming that's what it was doing?<br />

I suppose it depends upon several things: &nbsp;how fast your CPU is; &nbsp;what locations are included in what you're indexing; &nbsp;how fast your hard drive is; &nbsp;how much free hard drive space you have... &nbsp;Perhaps other things.

How do I stop Search indexer from loading automatically

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.
