Disable Windows XP Indexing Service - Save RAM and CPU

If you are searching for an unnecessary service built into XP, then definitely the final answer is Windows Indexing Service. What is the benefit of this service? When we enabled this service, it is very easy to search the files more quickly. We can use Google Desktop for that service.

This service(WIS) eat up a lot of CPU on our machine. You can disable it if you have a large amount of files on your PC like me...

• Goto Control panel > Administrative Tools > Services
• Double click on the Indexing Service and Change the startup to disabled.
• Hit the stop button if it started.

Try this and check the CPU usage..
