hey,
recently while updating ,i used the custom tab and just checked all software updates from windows update site.Numerous updates were installed ,however while working saw Windows desktop search tool using a lot of resources (RAM,Processor and Virtual Memory).so i tried using it,however the results were not very convincing.It kept on indexing again and again and became a resource hog.so uninstalled it,only to find that it was still very much active.
firstly,how to know?
(!) open task manager (Alt+Ctrl+Del) then click on "processes" tab (second one) and look for "wds.exe"
if its there then u too have it.
how to uninstall it ?
(!) add/remove in control panel wouldn't work as while updating somehow it misses to create the uninstaller linkup.
so how to uninstall it ?
(!)search for a file named "wds4.0_uninstaller.zip"
you will find it very easily and then just unzip to c drive and run the
c:/$NtUninstallKB940157$/spuninst/spuninst.exe
you can have any drive instead of c drive ,which i used for the example here.
and once the process is complete your problems are gone.
you may have an alternate here,
search your windows directory for "$NtUninstallKB940157$" before downloading the file,if by chance you find it then you can run the "spuninst.exe" within that directory to successfully remove Windows desktop search tool.
so thats how my problem was solved.Happy Updating..
