Disable the Indexing of the Drives.

  Here are a few posts the other readers recommend you check out.

This is a follow up of the Vista Speed Up Trick that I showed you yesterday. This was the article where I showed you how to disable the Windows Search Service.

 

Today I want to take it a step further by disabling indexing of the drives

 

But I do have to warn you that you are careful with this. This can not harm or damage your system or something like this but this Vista Trick should only be used on drives which are rarely used or searched. You can simple undo this option but if you want to index an external HD with 300GB with music on it then it will take forever to apply new attributes to all files.

Quick Key to Show Your Lost Mouse.

Today’s Vista Tip and Trick is a trick with a quick key to show the mouse when you’ve lost him.

 

From time to time the mouse pointer on a Windows Vista system may be hard to find. You can display mouse pointer trails, but I’m not a big fan of this Vista option.

 

The option which I like a lot more then the trails option is a feature whereby pressing the Ctrl key briefly displays an animated circle around the mouse pointer’s position. Even if the mouse pointer is hidden on the sides of the screen, this quick key makes it much easier to spot.

 

Set a quick key to show your lost mouse.
