XP file command speed boost
Would you like to speed up normal file commands like open, close, etc.? After all every bit of speed increase helps, right?
Here's how.
Windows XP keeps a record of all files on the hard disk so when you do a search on the hard drive it is faster. There is a downside to this and because the computer has to index all files, it will slow down normal file commands like open, close, etc. If you do not do a whole lot of searches on your hard drive then I suggest turning this feature off:
1. Control Panel
2. Administrative Tools
3. Services
4. Scroll to Indexing Services. Under Startup type select Disable.
5. Click OK
That's it!
