Nice guide.

But after I tweaked the search indexer by unticking the Users directory, and then manually adding only specific folders like music, video, downloads etc., the searching is now very slow.

Haha, the part where it says "People were concerned about XP's high system requirements" made me laugh.

And people say XP was *always* better than Vista.

I don't have anything against XP. I find it a perfectly fine OS, just the irony of it all.

Khoroush always has great articles, but Ed Bott blogged about that same thing over 2 months ago, and I have been saying that all along - even in these very forum pages.
