Outlook only opens in safe mode

I was having problems with Outlook opening ONLY in safe mode. I tried running
scanpst.exe, fixed the corrupt *.pst files, but that didn't improve Outlooks
performance away from safe mode. While searching for the outcmd.dat file to
rename it, Vista kept hanging while it searched... I began having other
problems while deleting files and searching for files under Vista.

The problem turned out to be the windows search engine utility that Vista
and Outlook (Office) want to run. Under Win XP, the windows search engine
never worked better than the Google downloadable search engine did. So I
disabled this BUG from Vista and now the whole system works wonderfully!!!!

To disable this gem, go into the Control Panel, Administrative Tools, then
Services. The name of the service is Windows Search- click disable. (then if
not already stopped, go into the Task Manager and kill the app called
Search***)

Hopefully this helps someone!!
