Using WinXP Home.
I noticed in my TASK MANAGER that the CPU was running
using up 50% to 80% of the CPU.
I found a file in there called CISV.EXE, but I don't know
what it does.
When I terminate it my CPU rescources drop to 2% typical.
I have searched for the file using Microsofts "Search",
but it does not find the file, I have set it to search
hidden files as well.
Does anyone know what this file does and the program it
is associated with.
I have not noticed after I terminate it's operation any
effect on running my programs.
I would like to find out what function it performs and
where to find it on my Computer.
Thank you
john
 
You posted to a newsgroup that deals with a different version of XP, please
use the following newsgroup in the future:
microsoft.public.windowsxp.general.

However, cisv.exe is the Indexing Service. It's probably indexing the files
on your computer for much faster searching in the future, the more files you
have the longer it takes to index. You can view the indexing service
settings by reading this "How To" article on Computer Management:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;308423

Or you can read more about it in Windows Help on your machine.

Please post further questions in the NG listed above.

Thanks

Andy
