How can I stop my flash drive from automatically opening Windows Explorer?
I have three USB flash drives. One, and only one, of these is automatically opening Windows Explorer every time I plug it in to a Windows XP computer. I find this frustrating, especially since I have set the properties of the drive to "take no action."
I read this thread....

...but I don't think that's the issue here since there's no autorun.inf file visible on the drive.
Any ideas on how I can prevent this drive from automatically opening Windows Explorer when I plug it in?
Thanks,
Matthew

if you don't need files on there
[or move them first]
you could right click the drive and format it and see if that works let me know how it goes
