just so you KNOW why this is people...and he IS right....it will save much
more than GAMES!!! This lil puppy will go and detect when you are "idle"
and at such deemed times will then INDEX your whole frigging hard drive.
Idle times can be ANY times the hard drive is not active.....it can be
random times during the day....it can be any time the program basically
deems not enough activity is going on....and sometimes this is when games
have loaded everything into memory and are not bothering to touch the hard
drive. the loading constantly causes your slow down ALOT.

One other game killer you should remove - MS Find Fast! This gets installed
by default with Office, and you cannot do yourself a bigger favor than
removing it.
