FindFast, how to get RID of it?
Everytime I reboot this insidious program comes back.
ctrl+alt+del, End Task, and it's gone. But isn't there some easy way to stomp this thing out? Robert |

The correct way to disable fastfind requires that you delete the find fast index files :- 1. Start Menu, then click on Control Panel. 2. In control Panel window, double click Find Fast. 3. In the "Index for documents in and below" list, click the first item. 4. On the Index Menu, click Delete Index. In the Delete Index dialog box, click OK. When you are prompted whether to delete the index, click OK. 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until no more indices are listed. 6. On the Index Menu. click Close and Stop. Then click OK to stop Find Fast. 7. Then, do either of the following: Remove Find Fast shortcut from the startup folder, or Run the MS Office97 Setup program in maintenance mode, and remove Find Fast. |
