Sorry Will. It's called Microsoft Find Fast.

>>Hi Will,

>>I had a similar problem on Win98 and tracked it down to a utility called FindFast. I *think* it installed with Office.
>>
>>In any case, once I found it and set its options to 'never' (or maybe some very long interval) it stopped. I also noticed *no* impact otherwise (still not sure exactly what it was doing for me).

>>good luck,

>>>Hi all,

>>>This is not a VFP related question, but I thought someone may be able to shed some light anyway...

>>>If I leave my laptop unused, the HDD goes into sleep mode after about 5 minutes, but something in W2k access the HDD every 10 minutes or so.. causing the the drive to spin up again..
>>>I have tried closing down all non essential tasks, but it still does it.
>>>
>>>This especially winds me up if I am watching a DVD on the laptop, because the HDD startup causes the video to stutter (every 10 minutes) and also makes a bit of noise.

>>>Anyone got any ideas?

>>>TIA
