exclude partitions on external?

Howdy -

I'm sick of windows scanning all the partitions on a 1 tb external I use for backup. I only backup to one of the partitions: can I configure things such that windows foregoes scanning all three partitions on the drive, and only does so on one? It would help speed things up.

scanning all partitions?

Yeah, so can I disable autorun, but only for certain partitions/drives? Or is it an "on/off" thing?

win 7 pro 64.
