My index is just over 2 GB &nbsp;(on a 500 GB hard drive) so its size is fine for me. You may be indexing more things.

and the funny thing is that i only have a 120 GB HD. &nbsp;This is why it gets full pretty quick.<br />
<br />
I wonder if this is a problem with windows 8.1? I'm not the only one.

batch file to delete and rebuild index setting (Indexing Options)

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.

Windows Batch

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.

System Programming

The Microsoft Legacy Operating System topic includes legacy versions of Microsoft operating systems prior to Windows 2000: All versions of MS-DOS and other versions developed for specific manufacturers and Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions, and Windows Mobile.
