Ah...thank you. I would have looked in toolbar controls except the dang
thing started indexing the moment I rebooted. The default should be "off"
and then the user can turn it on if they want it and in the meantime a lot
of files have not already been indexed before they look around and see
where to control it.
Thanks for pointing me to the location for the index files. I 'll delete
that.
I don't see the Search Deskbar thank goodness.
I had found another way to stop it from indexing and that is to use Process
Guard to always block the involved processes from running, but I didn't
block all of them permanently so some kept trying to run each time I would
open IE. I have them all blocked now.
