Trevor, I've never had a Memory Stick (Sony trademark) so I don't know the details, but I believe Memory Sticks have some "extra" software; maybe part of that is trying to be "helpful" and find pictures for you. Other types of flash memory don't do that, as far as I know. Did you have to load a special driver for your Memory Stick? --there may be an option in there to disable the searching. Or, I think some photo organizing software (Google Picasa, perhaps) has features that search your whole system for new images every time it's activated. You can probably disable that, if you don't want it to run every time. Kraig --- Trevor <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Craig. I am a bit scared of my memory stick!
