Please, scan your computer with some utilities such as:
I suspect your computer might be infected by malware. Indexing service is a useless joke that wears out my hard drives and lags down my other programs, and I have no use for the other "features" that use this folder.Thank you for posting in the HP Support Forum. System restore doesn't back up the data I want and with nLite+RyanVM's updates it's not that bad to reinstall the OS if something does go wrong, which rarely seems to happen to me anyway. I do directory listings a lot (always rearranging my folders.) and it's annoying to have to filter out some useless folder from some garbage XP feature hacks. I am using none of these services/functions and with a couple of desktops running 8 hard drives between the two I have had no problems running a hacked ntoskrnl without SVI folders.Ĭall it picky, stupid, or whatever, but I hate when an OS tries to keep secrets from me, not to mention making pointless extra writes to my precious (and occasionally noisy.) hard drives, so I am glad to have finally found an option delete and disable these folders. There may be a couple of other disk-related OS functions or MS server applications that use it too but I haven't been able to find reference to them yet. Next step, figuring out how to make this into a RyanVM addon.Īs far as I can tell, the System Volume Information folder is used by System Restore, Distributed Link Tracking Service, Indexing Service, Volume Shadow Copy, NTFS EFS and supposedly by Vista's WinFS databases. You must be logged in (or at least run the program) as an administrator. Although ntoskrnl is protected by SFC, the patch circumvents that by deleting the copy in dllcache. Not only are the SVI folders protected by ridiculous security permissions, they're recreated at boot by ntoskrnl.exe, and this patch fixes both issues by rewriting permissions, deleting the folders, and editing ntoskrnl. The SVI Eliminator patch referenced in post #1 works great for me under XP SP3, haven't tried Vista yet.
