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 43). 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. You will need to either copy the utility back to the

drive or download another copy of it if you want to show the VCD or install the

WD SmartWare software on the other computer.

• 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.

3. Double-click the Virtual CD Manager file on your desktop to display the

WD SmartWare Virtual CD Manager utility screen:

4. Click Continue.

5. Read the license agreement and click Accept to continue.
