Hrm. I had the indexing service turned off (indeed - it isn't even installed anymore) to increase performance - it eats more of Windows' resource pile than most people realize. Quite honestly, the benefits don't outweigh the costs, at least not to an old curmudgeon like myself who makes it a point to already know where all the important stuff goes on his hard drives. By the time I have to actually go looking for something, I will have already saved that manual search time 40 times over in previous faster rendering times, faster OS response times, etc etc. The Runtime issue has been partially solved with Poser 5 (though only though multiple runtime ability), and I suspect DAZ|Studio will be finding an efficient way to organize it's "runtime" as well... My best suggestion for either program is to only search and (as an option only) pre-index files in the designated areas within the runtime directory, and no where else. If a merchant screws up and misplaces textures/.obj files/ pose files/whatever, that's his problem, not the app's. /P
