There seems to be a bug with the popup blocker in google's toolbar, meaning I turn it OFF, but it still engages. Rather annoying. So when MS bombarded me with yet another advertising mail in my hotmail account about MSN search toolbar I thought, what the heck...
Of course, it seems MS can't do ANYTHING these days without bloating it up with horrific redundant, unwanted and bloated bloat-features, so the IE toolbar comes with a fecking desktop search crap thingy as well which gladly sets about indexing my harddrive without being asked to.
I'm wondering what the damn indexing service in XP is about if this thing creates another god damn index anyway. Jesus, aren't you redmond-people wasting enough of my harddrive space and CPU cycles as it is?
There are three settings to decide which files to index. The fourth setting; "don't fucking index ANYTHING" is unfortunately missing. What is it with these people? Why do they have to create these bullshit features? I don't want this! I actually just want some TABS in my god damn browser window (which this toolbar can supply me with), so I got a bit more than I bargained for.
I'm going to see if disabling the index service from starting up, and then deleting the stupid index database is enough to make this thing go away for good. Damn, I sure hope so. Not that I understand why I have to jump through all these hoops to begin with anyway. Someone sure is lacking in brainpower over there at MS, the thought someone might not need, or want, their new shiny file indexing shite seems to never have struck them at all. *sighs*
