    How do I disable windows explorer closing when removing usb device?

    From Windows 98/2000/Me/Xp/Vista/7 & 8  etc...all Drives like Floppy Disk [Obsolete]/CD/DVD & USB ports uses Windows Explorer to Communicate...W/o Windows Explorer you can't view the image of what you are doin and your PC don't work [Windows Explorer is the System ...If you have issues regarding Windows Explorer or have Driver Failure contact your Computer Manufacturer or @ Microsoft...In that case you can explain to them about your issue...I'm no expert but I am only trying to help!!! THANX

    You should read the whole thread.  XP did not do this.

    And, to be consistent with the 7 behavior, windows explorer should close when a displayed folder is deleted.

    But it does not. The focus moves up one level.

    This is what should happen when removing a CD and USB storage devices.

    I have no plugins installed of the type you describe.

    Of Course Windows Explorer Close because there's no data to play around with...I suggest don't use any CD/DVD or any  USB plug ins these might not interfere Windows Explorer...[FINAL]

    No matter what the disk the windows explorer window closes when it is removed.

    This seems to be a hardcoded behavior.  

    Another stupid windows trick.

    @ jq85 - I am encountering this issue very often to all types of Windows [Windows Hang & Can't Close the Application] This happen when you inserted a Disc and click & open  the contents of CD/DVD [The reason is Windows have difficult reading large amount of files/data especially protected DVD and most if they are being Thumbnail viewed] What I do manually press the eject button and when you see the CD/DVD Drive led blinking and hear an ejected sound...and if not  hold pressing still this might open but don't put too much pressure otherwise you may tamper your Drive just common sense I guess this might help you...Try to ignore that explorer hangs its just and old issue...Stop loading some dirty CD's deffective CD/DVD those disc are the one causing problems...GOODLUCK!!!
