Optimize Desktop Speed
By default, Windows enables indexing in order to let people search for their files faster. But this feature drastically slows down your explorer's performance, leaving you with longer program response times. I will show you the best way to disable it.
1. Click Start, then Control Panel
2. Click on Programs
3. Under Programs and Features click Turn Windows Features On or Off (A bunch of features will be shown in the list)
4. Uncheck Indexing Service
5. For added performance, i recommend you uncheck Games (if you don't play any of the built-in games) and Tablet PC Components (if you don't use a stylus on your PC monitor)
This would seem like your done, but there's one more thing you have to do to fully disable it.
1. Click Start, then Run
2. Type in Services.msc
3. In the list, look for Windows Search
4. If it's not there, GREAT, you're done, if not disable it by double-clicking the service and by selecting Stop and then, Disable
There you go, a faster desktop in less than 2 minutes!
Cheers!
