scansnap s300

Just borrow this from my friend, is really small and portable and the best thing about this is it can do duplex scanning with auto paper feeder and can be powered using your laptop through usb cable. Is actually quite fast also especially when you use power from the wall socket.

Why deleted folder keep appearing?

Had you ever encountered this weird scenario, after deleting a folder, and you make sure it is completely gone, and after a while, this folder mysteriously appear again? This indeed happen to me and after i read this, then i realize my problem is because of Windows Media Player. Apparently i set the "Rip music to this location" to the folder i want to delete and whenever you open your Windows Media Player, it will try to recreate this folder for you, talking about trying to be helpful... So the solution, change the path to a permanent location. Hope this helps if you encounter the similar problem. :)

Go to Tools->Options->Rip Music and change the path to a permanent folder
