Disabling EBL auto-launch in Windows 7?

Bitgod · 11-20-2009, 11:28 PM

So I just picked up a PRS-600 and using it with my Windows 7 system, how can I tell the eBook Library to NOT launch when I plug my 600 in? I plan on using Calibre most of the time, so it's annoying to have to quit EBL when I plug it in. Plus I just don't like automatic things anyway (I don't have itunes launch when I plug my iphone or ipod in)

Just rename the EBL executable

There's about 4 threads about this. You have to tell it to not load the eBook Library Launcher on startup. You can use a tool like autoruns from sysinternals.com.

I also need to spellcheck my titles, cough.

Thanks pilot, I see now that there's a process running for the EBL. I'll start by going into configsys and unchecking it there and see if that does the job.

Thanks. And yup, turning it off in the Windows System Configuration fixed the issue.
