Default Vista and HDD

What is Vista doing accessing the HDD all the time? I thought maybe it was
defragging in the background so turned off scheduled defrag and my HDD is
still being accessed all the time. I like my PC to be as quiet as possible
and the noise of the HDD being accessed all the time is ****ing me off. If I
turn off indexing will it stop it doing this or is it something else causing
it?

Do Ctrl Alt Del and select the task manager. See what tasks are
running. Virus protection?
