Q. When I insert a flash card that's formatted FAT32 or NTFS, CE reformats it to FAT without asking me. Why is this?

The following entry may be present in your ADSLOAD.REG file or the built-in system registry. While it's useful for automatically responding to file system errors (esp. with the flash disk), it may also reformat cards that it doesn't recognize.

Set the value of this entry to "0" as shown below to disable automatic functionality.

; The FATUserInterface key automatically responds to dialog boxes
; with messages about the file system. This key is primarily
; useful for headless systems. If your system doesn't include a
; display, you might set this key to answer "1" (yes)
; so that file system errors don't prevent your application
; from running.

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Platform]
    "FATUserInterface"=dword:0   1=always respond Yes, 2= always respond No,
                                 other(default): displays file system dialog box upon error
