Vista Disk Indexing - Stopping it?

[TehBluebear]

Hey guys. I've found that if I come back to my PC after a long time, and it has gone into Locked mode, that my CPU temperature gets quite high, from around 23C when I left it, to anywhere above 45C and onwards, even to 78C, like it is now.

I have been told that this is largelyt due to the disk indexing that Vista seems so intent on doing. I seem to have gathered that the indexing is largely unnessesary, and can be disabled, the question is how? Had a scout around Vista, but couldn't seem to find anything?

Cheers.

..or too much thermal paste has been used..

That *could* be my problem tbh. It was my first time using thermal paste, and i reckon I might have put too much on. I'll re-do it sometime this week. Any tips on the amount to use? Running a Q6600, if that helps.
