If you format the drive, plugged it back into your PC it shouldn't have that software on it anymore. Then on the laptop: Start > Run > \\IP_OF_DESKTOP\F$ (if F is the drive letter of that drive on the desktop) Eg: \\192.168.1.20\f$. or map it through command prompt: net use F: \\192.168.1.20\f$ Might ask you for credentials. |

| 1157403 | 2010-11-30 02:28:00 | Double clicking the mapped drive will probably execute the autorun which is why you get the setup....You need to share a folder, not the root, or rename the autorun executeable! | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 1157404 | 2010-11-30 03:00:00 | if it's auto run can't you just delete the autorun.ini or whatever it's called | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1157405 | 2010-12-07 09:15:00 | any way to map a drive so it wont prompt you to enter username and PW after rebooting? | 12steps (14778) | ||
| 1157406 | 2010-12-07 19:01:00 | for the autorun problem, Display hidden files and folders in explorers options and go to the drive's root look for a file called "autorun.ini" either delete it or open it with notepad and edit it so it does not try to run a .exe, I think the line starts with run=. also in this file you can specify a custom icon (if you want to) just edit the line icon= to specify a path to an icon |
