When I slip an external drive in the USB
it begins to scroll though the 200,000 images
as autoplay. Where do I go to change default
to "Take no action"
Thanks

Right click on the drive in Windows Explorer and select Properties. Is
there an Auto Play tab?

Hiya Gerry,
no there isn't.
General / Tools / Hardware / Sharing...........only
I note it is FAT 32
does that make any difference?

G'day Gerry
your post encouraged me to Google
so it appears if I hit the "Windows key" + E
I can get into properties with "Autoplay"
and I have set "pictures" to take "No Action"

Thanks for the impetus to search
Regards
Rodney
