    Every time I plug in my USB Lexar JumpDrive, bl**dy XP Pro asks me "how I would like to view the contents of the JumpDrive"? How can I set it to a default view so it doesn't ask me the same bl**dy question every time? Can I patch the Registry, or what? Bazza

    Right click on the drive from My Computer, click Properties, then the AutoPlay tab, tick the "Select an Action to Perform" circle, then select what you want it to do, then hit OK.

    It's just "progress" according to microsoft. :D
