What's The F**king Point?

Another article by Mr Greene. What's the point in disabling these things? Turning off the search will stop certain Vista features from working (if the service is stopped or disabled, the Explorer will not be able to display virtual folder views of items, and search in the Explorer will fall back to item-by-item slow search), and it simply stores (admittedly limited) search information in the registry instead, making the entire thing a bit pointless. Especially when the files that hold the index data are tightly configured and locked down using NTFS permissions - and if you can change them, you can access the files anyway. The same with System Restore. Fairly pointless article.

As I've mentioned to you before, I'm thinking of giving up on The Register, but they seem to publish about one article a day that's worth reading.
