MBL autostarts each time?

WD Legacy Products My Book Live

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.

Thanks Tony! Could you please submit the procedure on how to do this in Windows XP? Thanks.

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

Do you know how to do this in Vista?
