Default Stop PT from creating database folders on every drive!

Is there any chance to stop Pro Tools to create a "Digidesign Databases" folder on EVERY frickin drive or memory stick?
It's really annoying

In short - no. You can, however, mark the drives as unrecordable in the Workspace pane; those drives will be ignored on subsequent restarts.

You can also reformat into a non-recordable Mac format such as NTFS. However, for smaller flash drives this will not work.

ok, thanks for the info!
maybe digidesign will change that behaviour in the future. ;-)
