    That would be the windows disk indexing service. The indexing service helps your computer to search for files more quickly. This process will eventually index all the files and then stop, but if you dont want the program to run, or need to use your laptop with more than 1% CPU then do the following:

    1)Click start, run
    2)in the run box type in "services.msc" (without quotes)
    3)scroll down to the "Indexing service" line and double click it
    4)A new dialoge box should have appeared in which you should be able to change the startup type to "Manual"

    hope this helps!
