If I understand things correctly, all of these marvelous new ways of keeping track of data files requires indexing the files. And the index is a weak point for a hacker break-in to find exactly what he is looking for on your computer. I'd like to have the option of turning off _all_ indexing on my computer. One of the things that infuriates me about WinXP is that whenever I plug in an external hard drive, XP proceeds to index it immediately, and wants to do something "automatic" (e.g., play the music, put it on a playlist somewhere, etc.) with it. I want to turn off all of that automation -- such automation is just one more way for hackers to do something malicious.
