Well I think that once the file is found, and accessed, it should stop

the file? It bogs down the system and I'm on a core 2 duo with 2GB of RAM.

Anyway, thanks for the answer, even though it's not what I wanted to hear.
LOL I've sent of a question to Windows Search Support so will see what they
have to say.
