Can anyone tell me why whenever i plug in a USB mass storage device such as a memory card or flash drive i no longer get the screen asking me what i want to do next i.e open to view files and folders etc . I always have to open my computer to select the drive or card as it will not automatically present me with the screen i was once familiar with . Im running XP Pro SP2. Many thanks

If you plug the mass storage drive in and go into my computer. Right click the drive and choose properties. Go to the autoplay tab. Put a check in the "prompt me each time to choose an action" check box. Click apply and then OK. Done!
