Sharc Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Can anyone tell me how to Automatically uncheck Allow Indexing Service to index this disk (folder, files) in disk (folder) properties? Don't know any VB/JS script to do so. Is it possible for AutoIt? It is NOT the same as disabling the indexing service 'cuz it has to do with NTFS attributes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 I just use the registry tweak to disable the Indexing Service (as you mentioned above).I haven't heard of any WMI or command-line tool to disable Indexing on any drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHz Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 @prathapml I was going to say the same. Regtweak is far easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharc Posted September 6, 2004 Author Share Posted September 6, 2004 Can anyone tell me how to Automatically uncheck Allow Indexing Service to index this disk (folder, files) in disk (folder) properties? Don't know any VB/JS script to do so. Is it possible for AutoIt? It is NOT the same as disabling the indexing service 'cuz it has to do with NTFS attributesStill again. I know how to disable THE INDEXING SERVICE. But every file and folder has an attribute called For Fast Searching, Allow Indexing Service to (what would you think of?))) index this file/folder! Furthermore, in VB there is a number for EACH file/folder attribute. For example, 2 is hidden, 1 is read-only, 4 is System, 32 - Archive bit set, 64-Link or shortcut, 2048 - Compressed file. But I didn't find here ContentIndexed file! does anybody know how to automate changing this attribute? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiMoNsAyS Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 after i disable the indexing service with regtweaks i always check the files, go to properties>advanced options and there i see that it's ticked the "allow indexing service to..." but i don't know how to disable it for all files and folders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharc Posted September 6, 2004 Author Share Posted September 6, 2004 THERE MUST BE A WAY!!! It just takes an expert in VB Script))) cuz I found a way for changing ANY attribute BUT THIS and sinsce it is possible in ASP.NETCheck this http://www.xefteri.com/articles/dec022002/default.aspx for instance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiMoNsAyS Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 i think that option is just annoying but it won't speedup your system in anyway disabling it, i'll leave it ticked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denney Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 The "NotContentIndexed" attribute is "2000"... First link on Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxXPsoft Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 First you have to shut down the service of course but thenIf you are going to disable Indexing service do this to all drives. Uncheck the Allow Indexing service to index this disk for faster file searchingThen click Apply.You then Select Apply Changes to C:\, SubFolders and files.Then click Apply again. May give error about unable, just click Ignore all.I been searching a long time and sure i could code it but i just do it manually right now. I've read that this will speed up the system a little but it's one of those maybe it will maybe it won't. Mine is unticked on all drive's though.
