Flash Drive Reminder

USB Flash drive reminder

Still remember my previous post which was few week ago. I wrote of how you can write a small script to remind you to unplug your usb thumb drive when you shut down or log off your pc (Never forget your USB flash drive). I understand that there is quite a few steps you need to follow and is a little complicated but do not worry i found a piece of software to help you. It is call Flash Drive Reminder. Follow the link to download and it is a freeware. This is a tiny application that you put it into your thumb drive and it require very little space only. It work when you go to log off or shut down your session, the reminder pops up, reminding you to plug out your drive. That it, very easy as compare to my previous post which you need to write a small script.
