ReadyBoost Annoyance

Reply Contact

I have a fast 2 GB SD card in my card reader which I have set up as a ReadyBoost drive. It's anyone's guess whether this actually boosts my computer's performance, though. Anyway ... every time I resume Windows from its sleep mode, the ReadyBoost folder window pops up. Not a big deal, but it is kind of annoying.

Anyone have a fix for this behavior (besides hitting the X button or pressing Alt+F4)? I'd rather not have this folder pop up in the first place.

Maybe it will redisplay the window if it was running when you sleep?

Yeah, that's right. ReadyBoost is a passive service. It just sits in the background, and Vista sends read/writes to the flash memory-based media.
However, the only thing more annoying than having the folder open upon waking the PC would be to have to remove the SD card before waking that PC.

If your feeling adventurous on tuesday, why not grab SP1 RC1 and see if it fixes it? :)
