Possible to turn off HFS+ reading?

Every since Boot Camp 3.0, you can now read the Mac formatted disks/partitions (HFS+) from Windows. However, there are times when it's useful to disable this function, such as when doing a complete Virus Scan using programs like Avira Anti-Virus.
Under Boot Camp 2, I have been using MediaFour's "MacDrive" software, which grants read/write access to HFS+ disks from Windows, but allows you to disable the function. Now, under Boot Camp 3.0 and 3.1, there seems to be no way to disable this - whether using MacDrive or not.
Is there a way to temporarily disable the ability to read HFS+ formatted disks/partitions from Windows, under Boot Camp 3?

In Windows 7/Vista, the small icon on left for Disk 0, Disk 1 is rihjt clickable
Failing that, Right click Desktop "Computer" icon, select Properties then go Device Manager. Or get there however you've done so before.
In Device Manager you see icons for all devices, including Disk Drives. If you see 2 drives when you click on the Disk Drive icon Right Click Mac Space/Drive & select Disable. It won't allow Disable (in Vista/Windows 7) on the Windows drive in case you are worried about that. If you can do this the result will be in Explorer no longer showing Mac space.

  • Camileo S20 - Is it possible to turn off the screen?

    Is it possible to turn off the screen when using Time Lapse or Motion Detection modes so as to save power?

    Hi buddy,
    I have downloaded the user manual off Camileo S20 and searched a little bit but unfortunately I can find no informations about turning off the screen when using Time Lapse or Motion Detection. It seems that the screen is always on.
    But you can connect the AC adaptor while recording movies. So you have always power. :)

  • Is it possible to turn off the Apple dock completely?

    I was wondering if it was possible to turn off the Apple dock completely without causing irreparable damage to my system. I am considering using Drag Thing, but when I am using it the functionality seems redundant with the Apple dock, also using both programs in tandem uses up more precious memory. The Drag Thing website links to the following tutorial as a solution:
    http://www.creativemac.com/2003/02_feb/tutorials/dockdead2030225.htm
    But it was published a long time ago, and I don't want to do anything rash that would damage my system, I mean I don't dislike the Apple dock enough to do that. Thanks in advance for the consideration and suggestions.

    I could only discover an option to hide the dock from within Drag Thing. I am looking to make the dock disappear completely. Drag Thing does not officially support this option, giving this answer in the Q & A section of their website:
    "*It is possible, but I wouldn't recommend it. Since people often ask how to do it anyway, here's a good tutorial I found on how to kill the Dock by Kevin Schmitt. This may have unforseen side effects however, which is why I've not documented the procedure myself, or added an option for this in DragThing. I keep the Dock hidden off the bottom of the screen on my own Mac.*"
    Is the dock so embedded within the Finder's operations that killing it will affect system performance?

  • Is it possible to turn off the passcode?

    I’ve seen a couple postings that say go to Settings --> General --> Passcode Lock, but on my iPhone 4s I don’t see anywhere to turn it off at that point.  In the manual, there is no description of turning off the passcode – at least I didn’t find it.

    no, once you get to Passcode Lock, there is no option to turn it off - certainly none visible to me.  Have you actually tried to do this?  Do you have an iphone 4s?
    Here is a screen shot of what you get when you press "Passcode Lock".
    You have to ENTER your passcode first, to access the part of the Settings that allows you to disable the passcode lock.
    Enter your passcode.
    Then you can turn the passcode off.

  • Is it possible to turn off the fluid grid function in dreamweaver during the process of building your site by mistake? It was working fine and simply stopped and I don't see how to correct what is wrong.

    Is it possible to turn off the fluid grid function in dreamweaver during the process of building your site by mistake? It was working fine and simply stopped and I don't see how to correct what is wrong.

    There is no specific function that turns FGL on or off.
    When you say that it has stopped, do you mean that the handles no longer show?
    If that is the case, then I think you may have modified the CSS to such an extent that Dreamweaver no longer recognises it as belonging to FGL.
    There are a couple of avenues for you
    Redo the site and make sure not to touch the FGL CSS
    paste the code here so that we can see what has gone wrong.

  • Is it possible to turn off selected audio tracks for export?

    Hi,
    I have worked with fcp 5 before on a project with two languages. Beside the footage audio, each language had its own audio track which I could turn off for export. It was nice to have all languages in one project, because changes had effect for all languages at the same time.
    Is it possible to turn off audio tracks in fcpX for export?
    I know that fcpX hasn't tracks anymore, but is there a similar function to serve the same purpose?
    I am not a professional editor.

    I am blissfully unaware of how production companies work .
    The project I am working on is a pretty straight forward instruction video. I will be shooting the video, edit and then have the comments recorded by professionals. In DVDPro I will put them both together.
    The magnetic timeline is kind of irritating. I will have to work on the languages one after the other. So once I have a language done, I will probably create a compound clip to prevent the sliding around. That would also make it easier to enable or disable the clips.

  • Hi, is it possible to turn off wi-fi of my time capsule?

    Hi, I read an article that wifi electro-magnetic emission may be dangerous for children's health. Therefore I would like to use wired connection and turn off the wireless feature of my time capsule. Please let me know if it is possible and how I can do it.
    Still I would like to use the time capsule as a wired router and backup storage facility for my desctop.
    One additional question - if it is not going to be possible to turn off the wi-fi, is there another alternative to turn off the time capsule reather than disconnecting it from the socket? Is there an alternative power cord with turn on/turn off switch? Any ideas?
    Regards,
    aldo7

    Hi, I read an article that wifi electro-magnetic emission may be dangerous for children's health.
    There will always be a silly article about anything... if you read it.
    I can understand your concern, but Pastenague already pretty much summed up most of what I was going to say. BTW, I would not be surprised if that author is the kind of hypocrite who goes out in the sun all day, or hangs out in cigarette smoke filled rooms.
    Electromagnetic waves are everywhere, man-made and environmental. After well over a decade of testing, it's never been proven ... all these 'scare claims' that tend to hit the media. I still remember what started it all, back when someone was diagnosed with cancer after shortly getting a cell phone, and he heard about someone else who had cancer and also had used a cellphone.
    OMG... Therefore, cellphones MUST cause cancer, and the electromagentic waves are carcinogens!
    They're still trying to prove that.
    There are far more things to worry about health wise, than the EMFs.
    BTW, in regards to that author, I have my own article to submit to them. And I can even back mine up with facts:
    A study has shown that given a long-enough time-line, EVERYONE who drinks water in their life, eventually dies.
    Another study has shown, that 100% of people who currently are diagnosed with cancer, have drank at least 1 cup of water in thier life-time.
    Another alarming fact has been raised recently, that the harmful effects of water is not just restricted to humans. For example, a study of deceased adult cows at various farms, has shown that there was water-content in all their carcasses.
    There is a strong lesson to be learned here. Stay way from water or any product bearing H2O at all costs!

  • Is it possible to turn off game sounds?

    Hi, all...
    I have an iPod Classic (160 gb, version 2.0.5) and I've searched high and low so I think I know the answer... but is it possible to turn *off* the sounds made by the native click wheel games (such as Klondike) or should I resign myself to listening to them even though very much don't want to?

    Nokia is working on a software tweak for the softness is photos on the Lumia 920 (can't find the quote atm, saw it a few days ago). In the mean time some folks have reported sharper photos using the 4:3 aspect ratio.
    The fact that the 920 seems to produce pictures that are about 1/2 the file size of similar pictures on the iPhone 5 sort of leads me to believe that the issue has to do with Compression/post-processing of some kind.

  • Is it possible to turn off a channel in DAQ?

    I am using 4*PXI-6070E to acquire 64 channels simultanously. Is it possible to turn off one or several channels during acquisition? Which function or property node should I use? I have tried using property node "disable" in waveform graph but it seems didn't work. That channel is still running and the data is still here. Can anyone help me plz? THX a lot!

    Once a set of channels are configured in a task and being acquired, you cannot reconfigure the task (add/remove channels) without stopping the running task
    What you could do is to: Use array functions ( like index array) to create a subset of channels you require, from the set of channels being acquired

  • Is it possible to turn off a spot colour

    Hello
    Probably a dumb question but I will ask anyway. Is it possible to turn off a spot colour in CS4. I can effectively do it by creating a spot white and merging the spot colour I want to delete to the spot white using the ink aliasing. However, this leaves a spot colour in the high res pdf at th end of the job. This then causes a problem as we use an online proofing system which then fails the flightcheck as there is a spot colour in the pdf.
    Cheers
    Beeefcake

    The spot colour is used so that we can perform a find on any text with a fill of the spot colour and delete it. The spot colour is put in for this purpose when the original artwork is created in the US.
    Kathlene - I can't believe I didn't spot that! This would work! We could just convert the swatch to 0% cmyk as you suggest. The majority of the pages in the catalogue are on a white background so the pricing would simply disappear resulting in no spot place when pdf's are made. There are some pages on a coloured background but these are very few and the pricing could be deleted manually.
    Thanks for the help!

    The read receipts you are seeing are for the other person when they have read your messages.
    On their iPhone they have Settings > Messages - Send read receipts to On.
    The settings on your iPhone are for sending a read receipt to others. With this Off, they will not get a read receipt when you read their messages.

  • Is it possible to turn off the updates that make your iphone need to be activated again?

    Is it possible to turn off the updates that make your iphone need to be activated again? Because you need wifi in order to activate and sometimes I don't have wifi so my iphone becomes unusable untill I get wifi again.

    I'm sorry but it says 8.1.2 on my phone when I check for the info about the software.
    The issue I have is that on random moments it asks me to activate my phone ( I think after an update or some kind ) but sometimes I have no access to wifi to activate it so I was wondering if I could make that stop?
    I'm sorry for the strange explanation, english isn't my mothertongue

    Re: Iphoto 11 -How to turn off faces?
    Dec 30, 2013 9:06 AM (in response to mkmichaelmk)
    Start of solution:
    I did some digging in the prefs of iPhoto and found out the following. This is how you can disable (turn off) Face detection, without deleting faces found so far (just in case you want to restart processing at another time):
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Open Terminal Application (Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app)
    3. Type the following (exactly as is):
    defaults write com.apple.iPhoto PKFaceDetectionEnabled 0
    (then return)
    4. - Start iPhoto - Faces stops getting on your nerves...
    If you ever need to re-enable faces, just do the same again and replace the 0 with 1.

  • How can I turn off Adobe Reader X Popup Bubbles Permanently?

    I feel like I've gone backwards ten years to the first version of Windows XP, when everything resulted in an annoying popup or dialogue or bubble that required my attention and my intervention.  My hope is for Adobe to learn the lesson that Microsoft learned ten years ago.
    Adobe Reader X is full of popups.  How can I turn them off permanently?  I've spent hours searching the internet and the forums.  I've seen the messages that explain dismissing a popup on a document permanently turns it off for that document.  I've seen the message that reveals a registry key called "bShowTaskButtonInfoBubble".
    But I want to turn off the popups for all documents permanently.  I don't want to navigate to the tiny little 'x' on the bubble of every document.
    The bShowTaskButtonInfoBubble key doesn't exist anywhere in my registry.  I'm comfortable searching with regedit and making changes.  The key doesn't exist.
    How can I permanently turn off Adobe Reader X popup bubbles?

    In my earlier message, I explained that I found such a message.  It was the
    exact same message you're showing me.
    Now what?  As I explained, that key doesn't exist in my registry.  Is it a
    Boolean?  a DWORD? or what?
    BTW, it's not risky to "search" the registry.  It's risky to "guess" what
    kind of change to make to your registry and then change it according to
    your guess.
