You can access it as directed by the prior post, but select "disabled" where
it states "manual." If you merely select "stop," it will start again at the
next boot up.

In the Add/Remove Programs applet in the Control Panel, select Add/Remove
Windows Components and uncheck Indexing Service. This will disable and stop
the indexing service.
