MBL autostarts each time?

Options

‎06-27-2011 03:54 AM

Hi all,

 

MBL is starting up automatically each time I start my computer (after logging in, when Win XP is loading into the desktop). After 10 minutes the MBL turns into standby again (blue led light). I don't wanna have the MBL powered on each time I start my computer. Instead, I rather have turned it on ONLY when I really want to access any file on the HDD. Any solution for this? Thanks.

Tell your PC not to connect to your remote shares whenever you boot it.

I don't have any PCs running XP anymore, so I am not sure.  :smileysad:
