It's a peculiarity with the way Windows handles USB drives, or maybe
in the drives themselves - sometimes they are treated as removeable
drives and sometimes as fixed drives.

You can use the exclude paths to remove specific drives from the list,
or alternatively exclude everything (*) and just include the fixed
drives you want.
