Removing indexing service

Not quite. One day you might make use of searching something - and therefore
it's good to have everything indexed before.
So, you better leave the indexing service switched on and then do the
following:
let your PC turned on overnight. You will notice much HDD-operation. But
thereafter, these terrible HDD-activities will be much less.

Hello,
I unchecked the box for "Indexing" on the C: drive of my WinVistaHPremium.
What should I expect now?
Any experience in this by others?

Well, locations normally indexed by the system, won't be indexed.

Other than the O/S not going around indexing files, you're not going to
notice anything. You might as well just go stop the indexing service.

Well, before I received all these replies I allow the indexing to be turned
off. It took quite a while to be done and now i've rebooted. I figure I can
always turn it back on.
I hadn't noticed any difference with HDD operations or speed of access and I
often leave my laptop on overnight.
However, I'm still curious to see if anything else speeds up. It was an
advised move and I figure I can always turn the indexing back on - right?

You can always turn it on or off. The best recommendation is to lease it,
since one of the top highlights of Vista is the Instant Search capabilities.
Other operating systems such as Mac OS X Tiger or Leopard usually are slow
at first too, since they spend time indexing the system, but this usually
improves over a few days. It can be especially slow after an upgrade or if
you have lots and lots of files.

One's got to run around looking for things searching then leave it on. If
you don't have that situation, then you turn it off. The world is not going
to come to an end because indexing is disabled

Okay, this is most likely true for me because I rarely use a search function
- tho it is improved in Vista. I'll try it for a while and see.
As to Greg's comment - don't assume the worst in people.
