when i have outlook open, my CPU usage always hovers around 13% as a minimum, it also shows a message in the status bar 'updating index - x%'. I suppose this is mssearch scanning and indexing the email messages to provide instant feedback on searches. i would like to stop this happening and stealing my cpu power - i have unticked the boxes in outlook under search options to stop indexing from happening in the message folder, but it has not had any effect.

1. can i stop mssearch altogether?
2. will this have any effect on sw?
3. how do i stop it from launching on startup?(it is not in startup folder)

2009 sp4 32x XP corei7 4gb ram

TIA

cheers
