Programs that rely on Windows Search might not function properly. 3. Internet Explorer won't have enhanced search capabilities. 4. Windows Media Center won't have enhanced search capability. 5. You'll no longer be able to arrange your library views by metadata, and your column headers will only sort items, not stack or group them. 6. Options that affect Windows Search functionality will be removed, including indexing in Control Panel and the Search tab in Folder Options. 7. Windows will no longer recognize these search-based file types: search-ms, searchconnector-ms, and osdx. 8. Pressing Windows Key+F to open a search window will give you this error. Follow the next easy steps to disable it: Step 1: Open Control Panel Step 2: Click Programs Step 3: Click on Turn Windows features on or off Step 4: From Windows Features window scroll down all the way to the bottom of the window and uncheck Windows Search Step 5: Click Yes to the message asking are you sure you want to continue and click OK to save changes Step 6: Wait for few seconds while Windows finish changes and then Restart your computer for changes take effect.

Click OK to save your changes. If you restore point space is too low don’t worry because windows will delete older restore points and make more room for newest one Step 5: Now of you really need/want to reduce the space used by Restore Point you can also turn it off completely (I would not recommend it). To do that repeat Step 1, Step 2 and Step 3 Step 6: Then select Turn off system protection and click OK to save changes. Warning: If you decrease the disk space to be smaller than the space that is currently being used by system protection, older restore points, including previous versions of files, will be deleted.

To ensure that your PC is free from errors, it is important for you to maintain a healthy registry. It is also a good idea to make regular registry backups with Wise Care 365 to ensure that if there is problem in the registry, you can restore it from a backup taken earlier. You must always back up your registry before: 1. Making any major system or network configuration changes on your PC. 2. Installing or uninstalling a large application. 3. Performing direct registry edit using Registry Editor (regedit). 4. Scanning and repairing the registry using a registry cleaner.

One more thing, you can also set a second password for each of the files or folders to make it double secure.
