| 418271 | 2006-01-04 22:26:00 | I have one of those 512MB Transcend USB drives. When I plug it in, XP pops up a window that contains a bunch of options: - Print the pictures - View a slideshow of images - play - play video files - open folder to view files using Explorer - take no action How can I stop this window from appearing forever? Choosing "take no action" does nothing to stop it from reappearing next time I plug in the USB drive. Many thanks! |

| 418273 | 2006-01-04 22:32:00 | Wow - I see where you get your nick from :) I'll try that now. | braindead (1685) | ||
| 418274 | 2006-01-04 22:40:00 | Nope - that isn't working. Next time I plug it in, there's the window again. Maybe a reg setting somewhere. Thanks though :) | braindead (1685) | ||
| 418275 | 2006-01-04 22:44:00 | Hmm OK . lol mines the other way round . I'm using a 256mb transcend USB key . (I use it as a bootdisk, for DOS / updating the BIOS) . Since, I've removed / disabled floppy access . Plug it in it doesnt bring up the dialog, it just opens . I havent seen the dialog popup yet, when I use this . I think it depends on whats on it . I had some text/exe files on this . It wouldnt open . I had to click on it, in My computer . Delete the text / exe files, except the bootfiles, it opens by itself, when you plug it back in . |

| 418276 | 2006-01-04 22:52:00 | Ok SG. Come to think of it, when I use this USB disk on another XP Home system, there's none of this dialog box rigmarole. Dunno. | braindead (1685) | ||
| 418277 | 2006-01-04 23:20:00 | WHEN THE dialogue box pops up take a CLOSE look at it......near th ebottom theres a box that says.........'always do this action'.........TICK the box then clik on whichever of the choices offered you want......'take no action' for example...then next time you plug it in.......guess what'll happen ? | drcspy (146) | ||
