Win2k Services Question

I checked the event viewer, and under applications, I have a CI service that is running an index of files, but I don't know what service this is. It runs every few seconds, and I think it is making my system really sluggish.

It is listed as source: CI. Category: CI Service.
 
CI is the indexing service. Unless you are running a web server, you really dont need this service. To turn it off, go to start, run and type compmgmt.msc. Then expand services and applications, right click on Indexing Service and click stop. To be sure that it wont start up again when you reboot your machine, go to services and look for indexing service. Make sure the startup type is set to either manual or disabled.
 
Thx. Yeah, I traced it down, disabled it, and got it all cleared. I'll see if this fixes my sluggish preformance.

Thx for the help.

Click to expand...

Well, saying you don't need it if you don't run a web server is a bit misleading. It also is used so you can quickly 'search' locally based on content (albeit, few people ever do this).
