To do the same you have make little change that will make your computer for the disabling the indexing of the file or folder that is created or modified. But before that make sure that you don't want to perform the search operation of the system. This will disable the content search. If you still want to make the change then follow the step given below.

Click on the start
Go to My Computer and click on it
Go to the device and right click on it
Select the properties
Uncheck the 'Allow Files on this drive to have contents indexed in addition to file properties'.
Click on the OK and finish it

Thats done
