My Money file is on my hard disk (C), and I used to back up the Money file on an external USB device, but recently decided to keep my backups offline for security reasons. I then found that I could not even load the Money program unless the USB device was connected.
In the Money program backup settings I have changed the backup file location to my fixed disk (C) but I still need to connect the USB before I can start Money. The program is obviously still trying to put a lock on the USB device because if I attempt to select the option to Safely Remove Hardware (USB) I receive a message saying that the device is in use (until I close Money).
I have a synched copy of the Money file on my laptop which I can use without any problem and without having the USB device connected. I have tried repairing the Money file which does not help.
How can I remove Money's obsession with the redundant USB disk?
