I've had an issue when using USB flash drives. Most of the time, Windows says I can't eject the drive because it's in use. I struggled for several days trying to figure out exactly what was tying up the flash drive. Finally, I thought that, perhaps, Scanner was involved. So, I located the Stablebit Scanner Service using services.msc, stopped it, and was able to eject the drive. So, OK, problem found, I guess.
Anyway, stopping and starting Stablebit Scanner Service is not a very satisfying way to eject flash drives, so I figured, maybe, Scanner can be configured to ignore such drives. I have not been able to find such a setting. I did find DoNotQueryRemovableDrives in the advanced section, but it was already checked, so I'm figuring it doesn't do what I want. I checked the Scanner FAQ and Manual, but couldn't find anything relevant. The manual only offers a warning to not mess with the advanced settings.

Can anyone offer some insight/ideas?
