How do I disable windows explorer closing when removing usb device

Can you open the Action Center on the taskbar > Maintenance > View reliability history > View all problem reports

Can you right-click on a few of the "Windows Explorer" "Stopped working" errors > View technical details

What are the details of the errors?

Thank you for the response.

This is a default behavior of the explorer.  When viewing the contents of a usb device/CD/DVD and it is disconnected/removed the windows explorer instance is closed.

This is way to Mac-like for my tastes.

Clues as to how to disable this behavior?

Don't use autoplay if you do,

Right click the drive letter that represents the flash drive and select Eject instead,

I've never had explorer close after using Eject,

But of course I don't use autoplay either I just close the popup window and proceed with accessing the index.

Thank you for your response.

This happens even on the comp that does not have autoplay enabled.

Eject is prolly an option. But seems sorta redundant. Will try.

I pull out the mem stick and it is essentially ejected.

I push the button on the DVD rom player, and the disk is ejected.

Auto closing the explorer is oh so clever.  But stupid.

For me this is a useless feature.

Using eject or the safe to remove device listing on the action next to the clock is the safest way to remove a device of any kind,

That way there is no possibility for errors or loss of data,

Using eject will make a Safe to remove device announcement appear from the action center.
