Sometimes something accesses my HD once every second for long period
of time. Is there an easy way to find out what this is?

It is possible that it's the indexer, if you have Microsoft Search 4
installed.

Indexing is off. AFAIK, I don't have search 4 installed.
(It isn't doing it right now, but it was yesterday.)

TCPView showed things happening, but none of them were regular
