Mr Wizard, I've tried what you said. When I go to devices/usb ports it gives me no option to disable or enable. The only option is "pin to taskbar". There is also a box that is checked that reads, "Notify me if there are issues connecting to USB devices" I get no such notifications. I've also noticed that when I plug in an external drive (in this case a WD Elements 1TB drive) it spins for quite a while, as if downloading data.I think there's a lot of data on it, including a system image. Still no sign of the drive any where. I think at one time it was assigned the letter F.
