Vista uses the disk a lot after login

[Noiano]

Hello everybody
I am a very new user of vista. I have been xp for a while though . I have
successfully installed the sp1 and there are no serious problem so far.
However a serious problem is rising:I hoped SP1 solved it but it did not.
Soon after I login the disk on my laptop is intensively used: I succeded in
identifying the process which causes the problem and is
C:\windows\system32\config\regback. It uses the disk for at least 10 minutes,
then everything is normal. Since is a windows process causing the problem I
deactivated the system restore (also because I have never used it in the
past). Nothing changed.
Can someone help me?
Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks

Noiano

What: more than 16gb?

Most of the time that just wastes a lot of extra space and
bandwidth....pretty much like you usually do.....

I have 4GB of ram an that's enough for me . As long as I know there was no
indexing running when the hard drive was intensively used. But if you think
the indexing service is guilty please tell me how to disable it.
Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Right click the drive in Computer and check its properties. Untick
the option to index it (at the bottom).

Thanks...I hope it helps...I also disabled a service named "startup
optimization" or something like that (my system is in italian)...do you think
it's a good choice?
As soon as I stopped it the hard disk stopped being intensively used!

more HDD activity...

Hello Noaino,
Ok, do the following and everything will be fine:
1. Open "Task-Manager" ( Run as Administrator )
2. Choose the "Services" tab
3. Now click on the "Services..." button ( bottom )
4. "Services" window is open now and you are in "Services (Local)"
5. Now search in that list for the following: "Superfetch"
6. When you found it press "right-click" on it and choose "Properties"
7. A new window is open now ( called "Superfetch Properties ( Local Computer
)" )
8. Now select the "General" tab and you must to see there "Service Status"
and some buttons like "Start", "Stop", "Pause", "Resume".
9. Choose the "Startup type:" to "Manual" and make the "Service status" to
"Stopped".
10. Apply your add ( Click on Apply Button ) and see if your hard-disk is
used like before.

I am waiting your reply. Thank You,
Bogdan
