- Uncheck Automatically include fixed volumes.

In the same place, in the Local NTFS Volumes window, you need to register the volumes in which indexing is needed?

In the "Enable only" window, can I register the folder address? Then there will be indexing on this disk only in this folder?

Use the "Include Only" field under Tools -> Options -> NTFS -> Volume to specify which folders on this volume to index.
