Excluding external drive

Post by jsampson45 »

I am trying to exclude an external drive D: which I thought would be under Options. I selected "Indexes / NTFS" and a window mentions "Windows (C:)" and "Iomega HDD (D:)" - I can select either, but the button "Remove" is greyed out. Is there another way to stop Everything scanning the D: drive?

- Select your D-drive in the Local NTFS volumes: list
- Deselect Include in database
- Press the OK button.
- Let Everything make the necessary changes to its database
- Done.

Thanks. I cannot find the Local NTFS Volumes list, but I have edited the list at Tools / Options / Indexes / Exclude / Exclude Folders which seems to have done whan I want.

That list can be found in Menu => Tools => Options => Indexes => NTFS

In other words, this location:
