Showing or Hiding the Virtual CD Icon
Each WD SmartWare drive that you connect to your computer adds its own virtual CD
icon to your desktop display. Use the Virtual CD Settings dialog to enable (show) or
disable (hide) the virtual CD icon for your drive.
Note:
Hiding the virtual CD icon also disables password protection for your drive.
If you disable (hide) the VCD, you will not be able to create a password to
protect your drive. Or, if you have already created a password, you will not
be able to disable (hide) the VCD until you remove password protection (see
“Turning Off the Drive Lock Feature” on page 32).
