"Speed Up Windows 7 by Disabling the Search Index Feature"

Windows 7 is designed for speed. The Windows 7 team has placed special attention on making Windows 7 faster than Windows XP, and Windows Vista.

As we continue to progress in the information age, home users are increasingly expecting higher speeds from their computers. With that in mind, we've put together a quick tip to help you speed up Windows 7. This short tip will allow you to get more out of your operating system than what is provided "out of the box."

Disable the Search Indexing Feature

1. Right click on the "Computer" icon in the desktop and select "Manage."
2. Click "Services and Applications" in the "Computer Management" window.
3. Click on "Services."
4. You can see a lot of services listed there. Look for "Windows Search" in this list.
5. Right Click on "Windows Search" from the list and choose "Properties."
6. The "Windows Search Properties Window" will open up. From "Startup type," click on the drop down menu and choose "Disabled."
7. Click "Apply" then "OK" and that's it. The Windows 7 Search Indexing Feature is now disabled.

Most of the Windows 7 users do less searches in their system. The Search Indexing service in Windows 7 keeps track of your files at all times so that when you perform a search, the results can show quickly. This is a complete resource hog and waste of computing power for the average user who only performs searches periodically.

Business Computing Tip-of-the-Month:

"What are Managed Services, and How Can They Save My Company Money?"

When a company subscribes to a managed servcies, the provider manages the network equipment and applications on the client's premises according to the terms established to meet the client's unique business needs.

For small and medium-sized businesses, managed services provide enterprise class capabilities for an affordable monthly fee-with no large initial capital investment required.

Subscribing to managed services will:

1. Bring high levels of network support and availability.
2. Enable internal IT staff to focus on strategic activities instead of network support.
3. Allow you to pay only for those networking services that you need.

Managed services bridge the gap by giving companies access to leading network technologies and management expertise without the need to invest in technology upgrades.
