Find Fast.exe in windows 95/98

You apparently have Microsoft Office on .
Running findfast.exe from explorer or wherever doesn't seem to do much does it?
This is tied to Office's ability to "index" your office documents, to speed up finding documents from the open dialog boxes in office applications & outlook
.
If you go to your control panel, there should be a Find Fast icon. You can use that to customize your indexes.

The other thing that FindFast does in Win95 is that it sometimes crashes the computer.

We had big problems with "Application not Responding" in Win95, and it was always the FindFast application as one of the crashed applications. Once we removed it the problem went away.

I'm not saying FindFast was the cause, because we don't know that for certain. Getting rid of it didn't hurt anything, though.

If you don't use the search-related tools in your Office products very much, you might consider taking it out of your Startup menu to see if you notice any difference.

Good fortune,
Don

You can remove it from your start menu, but you also have to go into the control panel, double click on the FindFast icon and delete the indexes to keep it from running. It will run (via the registry) if you do not remove the index listings in the FindFast app itself.

One more thing you guys forget to say about Findfast.exe. It costs a lot of memory and slow down the computer. However, if your computer have enough memory, let it run the way it is may be better.

Hi, FineFast is another Microsoft program that is full of bugs, waste memory and resourses and of no good value to anyone and takes up space on your hard drive that is useless, like a lot of Microsot programs. You are better off not using them, if you do not know what the are and delete the files from your hard drive, and give you better Virtual Memory space.

Take care and have a great day
