Question

How to Set Default for a Device

Mar 2, 2015 6:52AM PST

I have an NAS (WD Mycloude ex2). On my windows 8.1 computers - desktop and laptop, when I click on My PC, then on Network an icon appears for the network drive. But when I click on it instead of seeing the folders that are on it, I see the "dashboard" (WD's control panel) for the device. I finally thought to right click on the device and it is set to "View Device Webpage" instead of to "Open". When I click on Open I get what I want. How to I change the default so it will always open instead of going to the device webpage?
