So it wasn't dropbox, it was windows?
Interesting, and worth remembeering.

Dave:

I have quite a few suggestions that I have saved for future reference, but
here is what seems to have ultimately fixed the problem.  Keep in mind that
I'm using Windows 7 on this particular computer.

I know you can be much more specific with all of this, in terms of
customizing preferences for particular types of media and programs, but I
have decided to keep it simple at this point.

1. Press Windows key and type the following into the Start menu search box:
autoplay

2. You will land on the following setting:
"Use AutoPlay for all media and devices check box."
You can uncheck this checkbox, and whenever you place a CD, DVD, thumb
drive, external hard drive, etc, Windows will not show the screen which asks
you what you want to do with the media you've just placed into your
computer's drive nor will it take action on the attached media.

Hi Tom!

What are the steps? The problem sounds familiar but old age is creeping in
so I can't remember how I got around it. The refresher won't hurt.

Thanks in advance.

73,
Dave

Hello, all.

 

I just wanted to let everyone know that my recent problem with Dropbox
automatically importing photos from my working thumb drive when inserting
the drive into the computer has been solved.

 

Thanks to everyone who provided all the helpful suggestions.

 

If anyone else needs help with this issue, please let me know, and I'll send
you the steps that worked for me.
