Yes, one can disable this feature, but wouldn't it be so more right if the two functions were seperated? I think so. I even wrote the author about it, but was only told not to have Esc as a hotkey for other programs!!!netsnippets - http://www.netsnippets.com/-mouser (September 26, 2005, 04:20 AM)-Carol Haynes (September 26, 2005, 04:30 AM)-patteo (February 28, 2007, 06:44 AM)
Thanks for the info but if you look back I started this thread in 2005 and bought a copy of the Pro version back then for half price.
I am not impressed with is the lack of any active development. In the last two years there have been no updates at all-Carol Haynes (February 28, 2007, 10:55 AM)
One major drawback of mtexplorer is that it doesn't support deep directory structures: ....

mtExplorer is a minimalist multi-pane file explorer. I have tried quite a number of dual-pane and tabbed file explorers, but none of them could give me 4 to 6 Explorer panes simultaneously in a single window.
So I wrote mtExplorer, which can be configured to display 1, 2, 3, 4 or 6 Explorer panes at once. You can drag-and-drop files between panes easily. There are no menus, status bars or fancy toolbars to get in the way. Buttons are kept to a minimum. The right-click context menu is used to perform most operations.
mtExplorer consists simply of a small executable file. Settings are written to an INI file in the same folder as the EXE file. No installation is required. You should be able to run it from any folder, or pop it into a USB memory stick and run it on any Windows PC.
Proceed with download.
... Microsoft_Update. But I already had the auto-update feature set to check on Sundays only, so why would it check at every upstart each day?

IME MS don't really respect the settings you enter WRT scheduling!-Carol Haynes (March 30, 2007, 03:30 AM)
Try turning off automatic update altogether and see if that fixes your problems.-Carol Haynes (March 30, 2007, 03:30 AM)
Bet I know what it is ...
Did you upgrade to "Microsoft Update" rather than "Windows Update" ?
I had huge problems and found a number of articles in the MS knowledge base admitting that Microsoft Update hogs the CPU during the first startup each day while it checks your system and the MS website for updates.-Carol Haynes (March 29, 2007, 06:28 PM)
Following your advice I have now changed it to Windows Update - so, we're going to see...I always disable system recovery completely...-f0dder (March 29, 2007, 09:58 AM)
I too have done so, now,
- and the CPU usage is some 5%, so the sinner really was System Recovery!-Curt (March 29, 2007, 11:09 AM)

Overview:
Windows Desktop Search (WDS) 3.01 is a minor update to Windows Desktop Search 3.0 that adds: support for indexing UNC files, additional support for enterprise deployment, and stability improvements. WDS 3.01 installs on Windows XP and Window Server 2003, but is not needed for Windows Vista since the WDS component is already included in Vista. Windows Desktop Search 3.01 helps you to find, preview, and use your documents, e-mail, music, photos, and other items. The search engine in Windows Desktop Search 3.01 is a Windows service that is also used by applications such as Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 and OneNote 2007 to index application content and deliver instant results when searching within that application.
If you choose to install and use Windows Desktop Search, you can search for e-mail, documents and other files located on your computer. No information about the files on your computer will be sent to Microsoft as part of this process. Instead, Windows Desktop Search will index the content of your computer and store the index file on your computer. You can customize Windows Desktop Search to index only specified folders on your computer. Windows Desktop search will not store copies of e-mail or documents after they are deleted.-Microsoft
, process explorer has a "services" tab that lists which services that particular instance is responsible for. Some instances serve a *lot* of services, but it should at least help you pinpoint it.-f0dder (March 29, 2007, 09:58 AM)
