To stop Everything from automatically indexing volumes:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the NTFS tab on the left.
  • Uncheck Automatically include fixed volumes.
  • Uncheck Automatically include removable volumes.
  • Uncheck Automatically remove offline volumes.
  • Click OK.

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

Yes.

For each volume:
  • Check or uncheck Include in database.

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.
