MS Office memory hoggers

In a typical installation of MS Office it installs Find Fast, an indexing utility that loads at startup.

This hogs system resources by regularly indexing the entire hard disk(s).

You can improve performance of your computer by removing Find Fast form your Startup folder.

To reclaim the space used by the Find Fast index,

Go to :‐ Start

Open Control Panel > Find Fast, select your hard drives(s) and form the Index menu, click on Delete Index.

When youʹve deleted your Index, click on Close and Stop form the Index menu.

If you can’t find it you do not have the problem

Another item installed in the Startup folder is named Microsoft Office.

This does nothing apart from loading all MS Office libraries at startup to speed up launching of any Office applications.

Since this is not necessary, you can delete this shortcut, too.
