@daemond You are welcome, sir! Hey, if you want even better performance, try installing Ubuntu on there. If you’re not using specialized applications which are only found in Windows, this operating system is fast and lean! If you don’t like it, you can always just get rid of it. Me, I went full Ubuntu. Only reason I jump into Windows-land is to test my web sites at this point. Loving it!

This worked perfectly for me. Cut login time down to under a min again whereas was taking 5 min? CPU gain was instant. It’s refreshing to find someone on these forums that knows what their talking about and keeps things simple. Keep up the good work man.

Windows 2003
Once the indexer has been stopped how can you delete the content in the database. Between the .edb file and the CiFiles I have over 50 gb of space that’s been taken by Windows indexer.

I found that I also had to disable the stuff on the Recovery tab (switched all to “take no action” ) to get it to stop restarting…

I am having a problem, when i try to stop it, every time the computer tells me that the stopping was aborted because it “took too long to stop” and this keeps me from being able to do anything with it until the next boot up. I don’t have outlook on my computer which I’ve heard can cause this problem. If I can’t stop it or get rid of a program I don’t have, I don’t know what to do.
