Okay, looking into the Win7 indexing I see a couple things worth
pointing out. First, they changed the name to Windows Search a few
years back - it's no longer called indexing. Also, by default it only
indexes a small portion of user files. Winkey>index will point to

I found a very quick app called Everything that indexes just the filenames
of your HD's. Search results are *instant* as you type...sometimes I think
it's so fast it comes up before I type it. This tool does not search
contents of files, just looks at filenames, leaves almost zero memory

Indexing is a Good Thing on modern computers with large hard drives. I
like the Win7 indexing, but I also have Google Desktop Indexing
installed. Of course, if I was like you and had a lot of super secret
things on my hard drive I can imagine this might be bad.

I'm ridiculously annoyed by WinXP. Among many annoyances is it's propensity to
index everything. I think having everything indexed is a security
vulnerability. If a 'bot is searching for something, all it has to do is
search the index, which is not only quicker, it also is a lot less intrusiv

Many newer cameras have two connection modes. One of them makes the camera look

Yes, I am ridiculously annoyed by those extra 4 drives as well, so I
keep mine unplugged until it's needed. I'm also annoyed at Win2k so I
