Disable Windows 7 scan and fix removable disk notification


scan and fix removable diskWindows 7 has a feature that helps you to scan and fix the removable disks when they are inserted. This feature is a helpful one if your pendrive is having some trouble otherwise in my opinion its one of those irritating features of Windows 7.
This usually happens if the device was not properly disconnected from the system in a previous session. It is more of a “we assume there is a problem because last time..” than a de facto problem. I am sure that most of the Windows 7 users are aware of this feature. If you feel this feature irritating then here is the fix for you.

This feature is provided by a service called “Shell Hardware Detection” in Windows 7. To disable this scan fix feature you have to just disable the above service. To disable Shell Hardware Detection do the following: Press Windows-R, type services.msc and hit enter. This opens the Services configuration window. Locate the service Shell Hardware Detection and double-click it. Click on he startup type pulldown menu and change it from automatic to disabled.
This disables the service so that it does not autostart with Windows anymore. Thus your problem is fixed.
