    For turning off services, always use "services.msc" from start>run....

    there you can look for indexing service... and disable it or keep it to manual or whatever...

    I don't know if you were looking for this, but anyway... see if it helps.

    Btw, what OS is it? XP? Vista?

    Edit: dam you QHN :D :D :D :p :p :p beat me to it!!! :p :D
