IIS Snap-in failed to initialize. Name: Indexing service

I keep getting this error “snap-in failed to initialize. Name: Indexing service” when I try to expand the node ‘Services and Applications’ in computer management.

I thought this has something to do with the IIS installation and tried re-installing. No luck. I came across this link http://dotnettemplar.net/CommentView,guid,dc0ab5e1-8c6f-4837-8e27-b023e0d14ee5.aspx which talks about the same issue. Yes, For me also, it was the windows desktop search that was creating this issue. You get prompted to install Windows desktop search when you install Outlook and One Note 2007.I uninstalled windows desktop search and my indexing service just works perfect
