Is it possible to really exclude some disk from index?

Post by KnIfER »

Hi. I have a problem.

the exclude setting doesn't work. I want to exclude disk V (an USB hard disk), it's almost broken, but is still readable and writtable.

Every time I insert disk V, Everything will try to start scan it, and eventually freeze everything...

I've configured to exclude v:\ and v:\*, but it only works for searching, Everything still scans everything... ?

Is it possible to exclude some disk from automatic indexing, or just opt to index specified drive?

  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the NTFS tab on the left.
  • Uncheck Automatically include new fixed volumes.
  • Uncheck Automatically include new removable volumes.
  • Uncheck Automatically remove offline volumes.
  • If your V: drive is listed:
    • Select your V: drive.
    • Uncheck Include in database.
