How does one turn off *absolutely* (or so that it only occurs on demand, and never by default) the process that starts indexing any USB-attached external hard drive or flash drive in Windows XP? It is never useful to me; I am always looking for an explicit file that I know how to find, or I'm running a backup to that drive with third-party backup software.
I suspect that this automated indexing (which presumably might proceed to automatically launching files) is the process that allows viruses to propagate on flash drives that are moved from one computer to another?
