Solve : File Indexing? |
|
Answer» WELL, despite my adamant claims to the contrary, looks like my old desktop has received yet another stay of execution. I have been having an issue with removing my external HD. I kept getting a message that I could not remove it safely because another program was USING it. Did a little research and discovered my problem could be caused by the Windows file indexing program. Reading some more, I discovered my old desktop WOULD probably be much snappier without it. Since I NEVER search for a file, I decided to DISABLE indexing on both internal and external drives. WOW, what a difference! My old (12 +/- years) HP a1600n is slow as molasses compared to a modern rig, but it now seems like a new machine to me. If you have an old desktop and do not often search for files, you should consider disabling the Windows file indexing program.Thanks for sharing that. Perhaps this topic should be moved to Reviews and recommendations. |
