Is Disabling the page indexing can speed up the windows xp,vista,windows 7

Page indexing: is when ever we load a windows there is a built in option called page indexing which is used for searching the pages automatically. Search indexing scans through all files and folders in windows(xp,vista,7) and  maintains a record about them which is not useful for some of us who don't check our missing files in the drive.


By disabling the page indexing option in the windows we can make a faster and reliable system.


To do that simply follow the below steps:
  • For windows xp operating system: 
             #  Open my computer and right click on the C drive and select the properties 
                 option and in that go to general tab.




             #  the page looks like the above image , then u need to uncheck the 
                 option"Allow Indexing Service to index this disk for fast file searching" and 
                 then click apply.


             #  then u will be asked whether to apply to subfolders or not. Click on yes and 
                 then ok button .It will take some time. Wait until it finishes the process and   
                 some times notes u as a fail message and will also give a ignore or cancel  
                 option. You can just click on ignore all.


            # This will improve the speed of the windows xp. Now u can apply for all the 
                 drives which are available in ur hard-disk


    For windows VISTA  and Windows 7operating system:(you can do this for both) 
          
         Vista and windows 7 has simple steps when compared to Xp.


          # First go to Run and type services.msc and find "Windows Search" and open 
                 by double clicking it.
                            

          # A New Windows search popup box will load onto the screen and there you 
                 can a see  Startup type in the general tab change it disabled and Services 
                 status to stop. This will stop the service. Now windows vista search indexing 
                 is stopped. You can also follow the windows xp steps here in vista too.
