Hiding the WD SmartWare Virtual CD
If you have decided to get started without installing the WD SmartWare software, you
might also want to hide (disable) the WD SmartWare virtual CD (VCD). Doing this would
be a simple two-click operation from the WD SmartWare Virtual CD Settings dialog (see
“Showing or Hiding the Virtual CD Icon” on page 45). But if you have not installed the
WD SmartWare software, it is more involved, and you should be aware of the following
precautions:
•
Hiding the VCD inhibits access to the WD SmartWare Virtual CD Manager utility
that enables and disables the VCD. If you move the drive to another computer, the
VCD remains hidden there too. If you want to show the VCD or install the
WD SmartWare software on the other computer, you will need to either copy the
utility back to the drive or download another copy of it.
•
You cannot run the WD SmartWare Virtual CD Manager utility directly from the
drive—you must run it from a folder on your desktop.
With those precautions in mind, if you have not installed the WD SmartWare software
and want to hide the VCD:
1.
Double-click the WD SmartWare icon to display the VCD file listing:
2.
Use the copy/paste or drag/drop function to copy the Virtual CD Manager file from
the VCD file listing to the desktop of your computer.
