After working on Vista for about a month, I had a window come up asking if I
wanted this huge list of words, phrases, websites, etc added to my system or
dictionary (don't remember) I was really horrified at all the tracking going
on. How can I disable this function?

AFAIK this isn't a Vista function. At least I've never had this happen on
any of my Vista installations or on those of clients. I suspect you have
some other sort of "desktop search" program installed. Of course there's no
way for us to know what that would be; you'll need to investigate by
looking at your programs menu.
