Stop creating file.db and recent.db on USB drive

[brtfgg]

When I plug in a USB flash drive, it's creating 2 files:
file.db and recent.db
These database files will open in notepad. File.db seems to be a list of all files on the flash drive and recent.db is a list of recently accessed files on the drive. If I delete them, it just recreates them. I don't see similar files on my C drive.
Also, my work computer running Windows 7 Enterprise does not create them when I insert a USB drive.

As a matter of privacy, I'd rather not have lists of my files on the drives. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how stop creating them?
Thanks

These files are most likely caused by a media player indexing any attached storage device.
