How to prevent XP from monitoring a removable disk

Every once in a while I connect a portable disk drive via usb or mount a
true crypt volume and XP will turn around a create a restore point on this
drive. Is there anyway to tell windows to stop adding drives? I don't mind
my drive C:, but it gets old when every time I mount a drive temporarily and
it wants to create a restore point. This is particularly irritating when
you go to remove the thumb drive or disconnect a mounted drive and are
unable to because it's in use.

Again, I know to to remove the check mark on the drive under the system
icon. I simply want windows to leave them alone in the first place.

Is there anybody who can help me with this or offer any magic hacks?

Thanks!!!

with all of your ext drives connected open System Restore and uncheck the
drives
