WINDOWS DESKTOP SEARCH ISSUES

[stevenjf]

WDS is regularly reindexing my total HDD whether requested or not .
I would have thought it would have just looked back to when it did it last
and added on the new bit .
What it means is that when i want to search for things daily , which i do a
lot , that i cant find them as the whole indexing process is underway and
takes more than a little time to complete as my HDD has over 100,000 files !
I have de and reinstalled WDS a number of times but the problem just keeps
continuing .
I cant work out which WDS i have but believe it to be latest one . Please
tell me how to do this . I have run MS Update many times but there appears
none available .
I am using Windows XP Pro and have loads of ram .
thanks
Steve

100,000 files?
Even if you use 500 files per day it will take you 200 days to use each
of them once. Delete 65000 file and you will be OK.
