I am using a program to autorun a program on my usb storage device. How do I
get windows to stop popping up the message "This device contains more than
one file type what do you want windows to do? I just want it to be plugged
in and then windows do nothing to the drive if I meed to get in I will go
through explorer. I;m running Roboform on the jumpdrive and don't need tog
et into the drive everytime I plug it up.
 
Hi,

I do not have a USB thumb drive here to check this, but when the dialog pops up, select "Do nothing"
from the list of actions and also put a check in the box "Remember this" (or something in those
lines). This should prevent the dialog box from popping up next time. Hope this helps.

I have not tried it with a USB device, but the TWEAKUI program here
does that for CD drives, so might for a USB
