Windows 7 - Repetitive Authorization Prompts

| | Repetitive Authorization Prompts It seems that most, if not all, the times that I remove a USB device (e.g. my iPod), I get a firewall authorization request, seemingly from Microsoft: "Device Display Object Function Discovery Provider". Is this familiar to anyone? |

| | In Windows 7, there are two Function Discovery related services. These are concerned with broadcasting of your computer and attached devices/resources, so if these are disabled other computers on the network will not be able to see your computer. Unless you are on a network, try tweaking the startup type of these services. This is a good guide on the subject. Windows 7 Service Configurations by Black Viper |

| | Yes, I am stopping the device - that's when the message appears. The odd thing is that it is listed in the firewall list of autorized programs. |
