Pocket PC Forum / End Users / Pocket PC / July 2008A storage card was inserted. Do you want to search it for audio and video files?
I bought a new smart phone, and a storage card which I inserted. Every time I turn on the phone from sleep mode a Windows Media window pops up saying that "A storage card was inserted. Do you want to search it for audio and video files?" There is nothing on the card yet. No matter whether I choose Yes or No, it asks me again next time I need to use the device. Where can I turn off this annoying notification? use google groups http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.pocketpc?hl=en to search this group as I posted some info on this some time ago. In general, the search generates file folders and files, some hidden which, (I assume) "when present," will stop the question. Suggestion... create a folder labled "Music" on the card and copy a single wma file to that directory, answer yes to the question when you insert it and see if that may stop it for the moment. (please report back) Beverly Howard [MS MVP-Mobile Devices] That didn't stop it, but when I killed Media Player under Settings - Memory it seems to have stopped it coming back.

[quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >> >> Beverly Howard [MS MVP-Mobile Devices] Ah Haaa!! Open "start", "settings" then "task manager" (I'm assuming your smartphone is running WM). Enable the "X" button to end running programs. When you "close" a program (unless you do the above), you only stop the program from displaying on the screen. It is still "running". You found the long way stop programs!! "Start", "settings" then "task manager" is not one of my options.under the Personal, System or Connections tabs. I used Open "start", "settings" then "memory", "Running Programs" and stopped the program from running. Is there another Task Manager somewhere else? >> That didn't stop it, but when I killed Media Player under Settings - >> Memory it seems to have stopped it coming back.

It is still "running". > You found the long way stop programs!! re the fact that the request was made when wmp was running in background, might I ask that you start wmp again then exit so it is still in running programs and insert a card and see if the request reappears? Next question, does the card now have the hidden directory named "MSMETADATA" containing a file "XMEMediaLibrary.mlb" Also, are there two hidden files in the card root named "WMPInfo.xml" and "WMSyncCaps.xml" ?? Beverly Howard [MS MVP-Mobile Devices] I started Media player, then ejected and reinserted the card. It asked to search so I let it, and it found some new pictures under My Pictures. I then closed with the X, and out the phone to sleep. Woke it up and there was that message again. Said no. Turned in on and off a few times then it came up again. Seems as though I have to kill it in memory. I cannot see the hidden files from the phone, so will check later from the PC. > re the fact that the request was made when wmp was running in background, > might I ask that you start wmp again then exit so it is still in running [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Beverly Howard [MS MVP-Mobile Devices] >> hidden files in the card root named "WMPInfo.xml" and "WMSyncCaps.xml" << A bit more on this... think these two files may be related only to syncing the card directly with wmp on the pc which is how I manage wm files on ppc storage cards.
