    Has anyone found a permanent way to stop the pesky warning popping up every time you plug out a pendrive on Windows 2000?

    It is what it's.

    Don't think your supposed to just pull it out.
    Right click on the sys tray and "eject hardware". Its not as if it takes 5 min to do it :dunno:

    Isn't there a little button on the dialog that you can click to turn it off each time.

    BTW - win9x can blue screen when you whip out the USB memory stick

    if ya just left click on the USB icon in the systray you get a little popup above the tray i which you can choose which device to stop.

    Its not recommended that you pull out the pen drive, why? well iit is solid state RAM, is it not, and if say you are writing to it, and pull it out, it may corrupt the whole thing, necessitating (SP?) a format. Just click the bloody icon, ya lazy git ;)

    <harry enfield>och, tut, och, it's just sooo unfair!:(:rolleyes::(<harry enfield> lol. Plus, as I found out, if you're moving files and plug out the pendrive when the Moving Files dialog disappears - you could lose them altogether. That's because the files aren't written directly to the memory but rather to a buffer first (it seems).

    It is what it's.
