Startup takes 10 minutes

[jonjonz]

Using everything on a win pc with to external hard drives. I like the convenience of find files fast, but startup is taking too long.
Everything just has to scan the drives and it takes 10 minutes before the computer is usable.

I really don't need this app any more, it's more inconvenient than an aid, how do I get rid of it, or stop it from tying up my pc for 10 minutes every boot.
