ok, my desktop search is reporting some crazy number of files yet to be indexed...
Now I am confident I don't have 94 million files on my PC, but WDS seems to think I do...
The number of items indexed has not changed since this morning, and the number of items to index keeps going up :eek2: :eek2:
Windows Desktop Search... a required piece of the Outlook Instant Search feature. I tried it and found that it took up space in my taskbar (which I could fix), but it also spent waaaaay too much time indexing everything, and it didn't back down when I was doing something else. And now that I have a regular issue with the process tvtsched.exe, which is a ThinkPad utility that I can't figure out how to disable and regularly eats up ALL of one of my cores, I uninstalled the search pretty quickly. Outlook's normal search works fine for me, and my desktop rarely has more than 7 useful items at a time... lots of junk, but I know where what I need is.
Could be that benign .vbs script that keeps propagating itself :)Quote:

@timeshifter - I have a few 100 thousand emails in outlook, so the normal search feature takes way too long when I need to find that email some customer is talking about from 4 years ago. As far as the file system, I am always looking up files using desktop search, it just makes things so much quicker and easier. Especially when I am tracking down a file to find all its locations on the drive. I set my indexer to index everything except my temp directories.
@mend
Is that the AllYourBaseAreBelongToMendhak.vbs in which you are referring to? It wont let me delete it in safe mode, says something about googoodolls.dll?!?
Really? I practically never use any of the search features in Windows. I have indexing turned off too in order to improve performance.
I have a set of websites that generate 100,000 emails in four months... mostly errors from bots hitting pages with query strings that point to nonexistent items...Quote:
