Can I make USB drive open Windows Explorer view?
I'm aware that aurorun has been disabled for usb drives in windows 7, Is there any way to make it just open the Windows Explorer view of the contents automatically when plugged in? I dont want it to run any programs just show me what's on it. If Win7 cant do it is there any 3rd party software that will enable this?
Thanks.
Control Panel/Hardware & Sound/Auto Play, then choose open in Win explorer under other devises..
Thanks, but there is no 'Other Devices' category listed under 'Autoplay' in the 'Control Panel'.
I already tried that, it doesn't work for me on either of my USB flash drives.
You can use Autoplay,
More options should be displayed,

But for the most part you can simply open windows explorer manually and Close autoplay and access the usb drive under the Computer section on the Navigation pane.

OK, so I'm now getting the autoplay dialog box when I insert my generic usb flash drives, it gives me 2 choices: Open in folder view and Use the drive for backup. I just want it to automatically open the USB drive folder view (no matter what's on it) - I have every option in 'Autoplay' set to: "Open folder to view files in windows explorer" but it still insists on asking me - didn't there used to be a tick box that said "do this action every time" or something like that?
Also is there any specific autorun.inf code that will simply open the folder view?
I get the "do this every time" for certain items,
Microsoft removed the autorun.inf in windows 7 for safety reasons,
