How to Turn Off Autoplay on Flash Drives USB flash drives are convenient to say the least. They are small enough to fit in your pocket, can hold gigabytes of information and make sharing files with colleagues and friends a snap. However, there is, unfortunately, a downside: viruses. While carrying your flash drive from computer to computer, you run the risk of infecting your computer with someone else's virus. The risk of being infected increases because many viruses spread to a computer as soon as the flash drive goes into a USB slot. The reason viruses are able to spread from a USB flash drive so fast--the Autoplay feature in Windows. Turn it off for your USB flash drives and avoid many of the viruses that travel with them Instructions 1 Click the "Start" button and then "Control Panel." 2 Click the "Hardware and Sound" link inside the Control Panel. Click the "Change default settings for media or devices" link under the "AutoPlay" option. 4 Click the check box and remove the check mark next to the "Use AutoPlay for all media and devices" label at the top of the screen. 5 Click the "Save" button at the bottom of the window. Windows will no longer AutoPlay media or files from your USB flash drive. AutoPlay will still prompt you when inserting CDs, DVDs or other standard media into the optical drive. usb flash memory for iphone china usb drive power bank wholesale smart phone power bank wholesale dm8000 hd dreambox dm8000 dm 8000 hd dreambox 8000 dreambox dm7020 dm7020 HD dreambox 7020 dm7020 HD dreambox 7020 usb stick USB WebKeyUSB Pen Drive Metal USB Stick USB Memoria Disney USB Flash drive ?USB Flash Memory ?Wooden USB Disk USB Memory Stick Customize USB Disk Shell USB Drive Dreambox dm800 HD Se dm800 hd se with Wifi dm800 hd pvr dreambox dm800 hd pvr cheap dreambox dm800 hd pvr http://www.dreamboxok.com/dm500si.html Dreambox dm500S satellite receiver
