BlackKnight Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Indexes are generated by and used for searching applications. You installed any? Microsoft, Yahoo and Google all have their own desktop search things- likely one of these is the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
