Anyone know how to create a shortcut to Connect to PC/Default Connect Type on Android?

As title really - doesn't seem to be a widget or a shortcut option for it...

Am I missing something?

what are you trying to do?
When I plug my OSF into the computer it just becomes available.

Yes, but I need it to be on charge only most of the time. If I connect to my work computer when it's on disk drive it will encrypt my phone SD card and knack my phone. Again.

Anyone know how to do this?

That might help?

No, although that's quite a cool app anyway

I've not seen an android phone that connects the SD card automatically, it usually requires to you unmount it after connecting.

Mine spends most of the day plugged in to my PC, the PC has no access to the SD card in that time.

Lol, I guess I'm not explaining myself properly.

You can set an android phone to ask every connection, but this screws up my car stereo when it plugs it in. I just wanted to know if there's a quick way to change the default connection type from 'Disk drive' to 'Charge' and vice-versa. I know how to set it to do it automatically and manually, but I want a quick way of doing this via a widget or a shortcut, and can't find a way to do this...

Ah right try searching for mount usb on the android market place.

Ok, now I'm embarrassed - didn't realise I could search the market from my PC. Much easier that way....

Extended controls looks like the answer - thanks for the help

Take it back - still can't do it with extended controls. I will find it eventually.

Do love the refund facility being so easy though, even over 60p or whatever it was.

How about mountusb?
a desktop widget that mounts and unmounts the sd card?

Unfortunately there's a usb mounting widget on extended controls, but that's no good because I need to change the default connection type before plugging the cable in and any mounting option needs the cable plugging in first. I just need a widget to change default connection type...
