Zachariah Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 (edited) I don't have Outlook Express installed (and probably had it never install). I installed using a lightly altered install CD. I'm using XP Pro.I installed WDS (Windows Desktop Search). Now every time I boot, I get two error messages, one after the other:andI really don't want OE installed. Is there any way to tell WDS to not index OE?I tried searching this forum, but I couldn't find any previous threads on this (which I kinda find hard to believe).

Arie Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Can't you simply disable this via the settings of Windows Desktop Search?(Why would anyone even want to install Windows Desktop Search?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zachariah Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 Can't you simply disable this via the settings of Windows Desktop Search?I couldn't find it, though I expected it to be there.(Why would anyone even want to install Windows Desktop Search?)It seemed to be the least intrusive, cheapest, and best privacy desktop search from the research I did.

Zachariah Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 I found myself searching quite a lot over a month or two, and I was getting frustrated about how how long each search was taking. I decided it might be nice to have my files indexed on a regular basis instead, so that when I went to search the results would be instantaneous.

Zachariah Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 Well I gave up and uninstalled it. Back to molasses-slow searches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
