For Windows 8/10, you can add a Registry fragment that will stop Windows from creating a System Volume Information folder on all your USB drives.
The download is available from the Alternate Download Area - Other Files folder (direct link here).
I will also include the registry fragment in E2B v1.84 in the folder:
\_ISO\docs\E2B Utilities\Disable_System_Volume_Information_Folder_Creation.
Note: In recent versions of Windows 10, as well as the Registry Fragment, you need to stop (disable) the Storage Service too (type Services into the start menu to find the management applet).
For more info, see my previous blog here (the Take Ownership reg tweak is really useful too!).

- A faster test for fake SD cards and USB Flash drives (*more popular by a factor of x10!)
- Deleting the 'System Volume Information' folder from a USB drive (and other system files\folders)
- Add Microsoft ERD Commander and MSDart Windows Recovery ISOs to Easy2Boot
