I swear it drives me crazy. I have Defender and nTune loading at boot, that's it. The drive runs for 20-30 minutes constantly after Vista 64 bit loads.
Could also be Superfetch. My one does that. I either keep my comp on all the time or hybernate it so it usually doesn't happen.
It makes little sence to shut it down (unless it needs to) when hybernate works well, and does the same thing (the comp is completely off).
It could be windows defender as well. My hdd gets quite a bit activity after booting but it's usually over within 5 minutes max. I have indexer and defender disabled.
What everyone else said. When I notice some churning it's usually defender scannings things in the background or indexing stuff I've moved or changed. No big deal.
