Ouch, it would not be the first time that I create Steps in pics with shiny arrows to explain. Good luck.

That's more or less what I do currently, but am looking to cut out the manual load step to help non-technical users. Thanks.

Hi,
Not sure I follow. Profile is still created as soon as you connect device, but some older devices announce itself as MSC external HDD and not as Removable device which makes MM auto disable because some users have external HDDs with media for MM library and not to be used as Sync device.

I.e. set a profile to be used automatically when a new device is detected.

Thanks.
