prevent windows from opening a window

[ISITEC_RIEPER]

Hello,

by adding a memory-stick to the system (usb-stick) windows starts to open an
explorer window that shows the contents of the stick. Is there anyway to
keep windows from opening this window from CVI f.e. by capturing a windows
message ?

Thanks for your tip captainst,

that's how i got it to work:

sprintf(command_str,"command.com /c net stop ShellHWDetection");
status = LaunchExecutableEx (command_str, LE_HIDE, NULL);

i used "LaunchExecutableEx" instead of LaunchExecutable or system, because
with the parameter LE_HIDE i can hide the command window.
