How to change USB connection mode (from MTP to mass storage)?

Windows 7 has a detestable "feature" whereby copying (particular?) media files in MTP mode (whatever that means) gives a prompt incorrectly asserting that the file might not play on the device to which it's being copied. Every. Single. Time.

 

Apparently this won't happen if I can get the tablet to connect in mass storage mode however I can't find the setting to do this.

 

I only need to do this for the microSD card.

I wonder if this is why the uptake of KitKat has been sluggish - they were very precious of it initially and now the perhaps as the SD card issues are becoming more widely appreciated - folk are happy to stay with and even buy new JellyBean devices.

 

=================

Global Android version distribution since December 2009. As of May 2014, Android 4.x Jelly Bean is the most widely used Android version, operating on around 61% of Android devices worldwide. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history

Data collected during a 7-day period ending on September 9, 2014. Any versions with less than 0.1% distribution are not shown.

Many phones are not updated AND new phones come with whatever the vendor chooses so L will start being reflected in the next graph.

It seems Feb was when Jelly Bean (in its various versions) was at its peak.

Actually I guess it was either a Jelly bean glitch OR a Ginerbread revival.

Perhaps new OEMs shifting cheaper models - price drops anyone know?

 

Also what happened with Honeycomb - Android was not on my radar at the time but hi res screens - expanding storage and increasing power means Android is now on everyone's radar. 

 

There is something odd happening between Gingerbread and Honeycomb
