Filesearching VERY slow in winXP
Why is the winXP search-function (Start-button/Search) so very much slower than previous windows? Is there somehow I can speed it up? thx

If you look at the bottom on the search dialog panel, you should see a selection to turn on file-indexing. This will speed up file searches quite a bit.
I'll try that, thanks.

I also noticed it is slower at searching WITHIN files
Im not sure if this fixes it, but it does at least speed up the interface:
Quote:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CabinetState]
"Use Search Asst"="no"
That takes it back to win2000 style search aka classic search
