How to Turn Off Indexing to Speed Up Windows XP. Windows XP index all files on your computer, but you are trying to turn off that. And You don't know how to do that. Here I wrote an instruction that will help you. 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 turnning this feature off: Just follow steps below:
Steps
- Control Panel. You can find Control Panel if you click on start button which is on the left low corner of your screen.
- Administrative Tools. After you have opened control panel there are a lot of icons and you have to find icon called Administrator Tools.
- Services. then after you have opened Administrator Tools you have to find and click on Services.
- Disable Indexing Services Finally you have to disable indexing.
