505 E: drive window opens when I connect my 505

DrMoze · 03-18-2008, 11:16 AM

When I connect my 505 Reader to a pc via USB, a window opens up for the E: drive which shows 2 folders, database and tmp. How can I prevent this from happening?

I right-clicked on the drive for 'properties' and then selected the 'autoplay' tab. I set each content option to "take no action." However, the E: window with the 2 folders still shows up when I connect my 505.

Any suggestions? Thx!

Is there an "always do this" (or some such) checkbox on that properties thing? That's the only thought I have, I'm afraid.

Seriously, it sounds as if you're doing the right things, so no idea.

Yup, there is in the 'autoplay' tab. I checked "take no action" for everything (as opposed to "open folder to view files"). I think I might be missing the main option window or something, though.

I just close the window each time.

You can also press Esc instead of hunting the Cancel button with mouse.

Try the Microsoft TweakUI "power toys", those have an option to disable autoplay completely, which is a good idea anyway.
