HOW TO SPEEDUP YOUR WINDOWS XP BY DISABLING FILE INDEXING

File indexing is a Windows service that like many others, is totally useless – unless you do a lot of searching on your computer. As most users don’t, it’s a good idea to disable it to speed up actions like opening and closing files and folders on your Windows XP.

To disable the Indexing Service:

• Go to “My Computer” 
• Right click on your hard drive.
• Click properties.
• At the bottom of the window that opens, you should see a check box titled “Allow Indexing Service to index the disk for fast file searching.” Uncheck that checkbox.
