Stopping SVI (System Volume Info) files from External drives
I'm running XP Pro SP3 on both a laptop and a desktop computers. I have
System completely turned off on both machines. I know that those pesky SVI files can not be eliminated on permanent hard drives installed inside the computer. (Even though they serve no purpose with System Restore disabled. However, I sure would like to find out if there is any means to stop those SVI files from being created on EXTERNAL drives. That would be all Flash sticks, and portable hard drives that get plugged into a USB port. Is this possible? All I know is that they are annoying and when I plug in a flash drive into my Win98 machine, I dont want to see them. Particularly because I often transfer files and those pesky things keep getting copied to folders when I copy the whole flash drive, so I have to manually keep deleting them, only to find them recreated as soon as I plug that flash stick back into any XP machine. Sometimes I think Microsoft just wants to annoy people, because they have a secret desire to drive people insane. |
