Hi all,
is there a way to generally prevent USB drives from indexing? I know how to
de/select drives and folders in the advanced properties of the indexing
settings. But what i'm missing is a general "Don't" for all possible USB
drives, USB-Sticks, CDs, DVDs. In the group policies at "Computer
Configuration/Administartive Templates/Windows Components/Search" i couldn't
find anything appropriate.
 
Go to Control Panel, Indexing. You can specify the drives, and exclude
particular folders.
