Windows Easy Transfer

F

farrard

I'm running Vista Home Premium on a 2 month old HP. There are 3 hard
drives --- the original one from HP, the old one from my old computer
(both internal), and a drive that is external, connected via USB, that
I use to hold my backup disk image files.

For a few weeks, no problem. Lately, every time I double click on the
external drive in Windows Explorer, Windows Easy Transfer starts
running. If I right-click instead and then click on "Open", there's
no problem (Easy Transfer does not open).

Any ideas on how to stop this unwanted loading of Easy Transfer?

Click Start, type the following and press ENTER:

cmd /k dir f:\

Assuming that f:\ is the drive-letter for the external drive. If not,
substitute accordingly.

Copy the output and post here.

Volume in drive M has no label.
Volume Serial Number is E79A-BF54

Hi,

Click Start, type:

notepad "m:\autorun.inf"

Press ENTER

Copy the contents and post here.

The Autorun.inf file may have reference to WET.
Click to expand...

Here's the autorun.inf. BTW, I've deleted this
file and the Easy Transfer file still loads.

[Autorun]
open=.\MigWiz\migsetup.exe
icon=.\MigWiz\migsetup.exe
action=@.\MigWiz\en-US\migsetup.exe.mui,-109

Did you reboot the system once, after deleting the Autorun.inf file? Or
restart explorer.exe process.

I tried deleting the autorun file, then rebooting. Still started up
the WET. I then deleted the Migwiz folder and now I get a file not
found error.
