Configuring network access on the USB data storage medium

If you connect a removable data storage medium (e.g. a USB flash drive) to a USB interface of
the PC system, a network drive is set up automatically. In this way, a removable data storage
medium can be accessed from an NC in the network. The file and the printer release is
activated automatically by Windows.
If you do not require network access to USB removable data storage medium, you should
deactivate the automatic network release.
You can find this setting in the basesys.ini at EnableUSBShares.
