It will slow down the indexing process, and for certain types of files, cause periodic hangs of searchfileindexer.exe. One should index the folder locations that need to be indexed. BTW, certain applications such as Adobe Lightroom will actually run much more slowly if you index its database and its preview files. Indexing the preview files is a waste of time since they are just arcane system names of no relevance to any user. My bet is that including the image cache for other Adobe apps, and other image processing apps, will also likely hit system performance as well. Actually, indexing any database will (as often as not) slow down the operation of that app. People should keep it simple and index the user file locations that they want to be able to search quickly - leave other locations out....<br><br>Stephen No offense but there is absolutely no reason to suggest directly (or by implication) that anyone should index the entirety of any drive.
