Windows 7: USB Drive Phantom Problem

G

Gene Wirchenko

It's actually a pretty common annoyance. See here:

http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/35622/disable-scan-and-fix-for-
removable-drives-in-windows/

I haven't followed the advice to disable the warning because I
suspect, from the name of the service, that it may disable not just
Autoplay but Windows' detection of devices when I plug them in. I
haven't been motivated enough to test that suspicion. :)

Someone is that page's comments said that it did have a bigger
effect. It disabled his scanner.

I do not mind if the error comes up, but not when there is no
error. I always use Safely Remove Hardware.

Sincerely,

Gene Wirchenko
