At night, I usually put my desktop (XP) into hibernate mode. In the morning, while I wait for it to power back up again, I get bored of waiting so go and make myself some tea. When I come back, it's powered itself down again. It seems that if there's a period of inactivity from the point of coming out of hibernation, then it will power down. Once I've moved the mouse or pressed a key in the morning, it will never auto-power-down. I've tried the suggestions above, but to no avail.

To turn of indexing in Vista:

Open up Services through control panel, or by typing services.msc into the start menu search box. Find "Windows Search" in the list of services and double-click on it to open it.

Change the Startup type of the service to Disabled, and then click the Stop button to stop the service.

I am not a fan of indexing, which I turned off on my old system, as the sound of my drive working when I'm not irritates me. Imagine my chagrin to discover you are not allowed to turn off indexing in Vista (contrary to the impression Leo gives in the article, above.)
