I installed WDS (Windows Desktop Search). Now every time I boot, I get two error messages, one after the other:

I really don't want OE installed. Is there any way to tell WDS to not index OE?

I tried searching this forum, but I couldn't find any previous threads on this (which I kinda find hard to believe).

Can't you simply disable this via the settings of Windows Desktop Search?
(Why would anyone even want to install Windows Desktop Search?)

I found myself searching quite a lot over a month or two, and I was getting frustrated about how how long each search was taking. I decided it might be nice to have my files indexed on a regular basis instead, so that when I went to search the results would be instantaneous.
