How do I disable windows explorer closing when removing usb device

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.

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

Nobody Is Perfect!

I'm stunned by EVERYONE's inability to answer your question. People are indeed stupid. if you can't answer the question, then don't write a whole bunch of irrelevant **** that the person isn't asking about in the first place.

I don't think he cares about files being inaccessible when device is removed.  It just makes it easier when the next device is plugged in so that you don't have to navigate to it again...?

Hi Ernestus,

Sorry for delayed response.

The task that you are trying to perform is not possible because it is designed like that way.

We do understand that if this could be added, then it would be easy to navigate when the device is connected in future. But this feature is by design.
