Can't disable "Searchindexer"

Can't disable "Searchindexer" using any method, Process Explorer and Task manager both bring up the attached.
Also, am blocked by same type of warning by trying in "Services".
I'm the only User, Administrator. No other Users.
Searchindexer is hogging 50% of my CPU usage.
Just started, causing lockups.

Sorry for the delay in answering.
Before I posted, tried shutting off the search feature in Services. Obviously, didn't work.
After a little further digging, found many more problems, somewhat of the same nature.

None of the above fixes worked, I would get some sort of permissions warning.
Couldn't stop other Services, etc.
Wound up reinstalling my Vista.
Thanks for the help, I've saved your suggestions for future ref.

I usually try to post that I've Googled and searched the E-E data base before posting.
I had already tried the suggestions and should have informed you.
BTW, Datedman, I'm kind of grown to like the Vista Windows Search.
I've got 4 HD's on this machine and it usually works pretty good.
