Go to Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Indexing

Remove all the locations from there.

One more way is to disable indexing for a certain drive or vice-versa.
Go to My Computer, right click on the drive that you want to
enable/disable indexing on.

Uncheck the box corresponding to Index this drive for faster searching.
