    Strange USB stick Properties


    When I go to Properties on my Diesel USB stick, I end up here: Control Panel\System and Security\System

    I don't have the faintest idea why that one stick behaves like that. All my other sticks show real properties. Any ideas??

    Hi Wolfgang -

    Are you attempting this from the Start menu? Do you have Computer display as a Menu instead of Link?

    It could really only be that rightclicking on the drive is actually rightclicking Computer, in which case Properties would show the System page.
