Automatically add shortcuts to your removable media on the desktop
Usually when you insert a USB flash drive into your computer, Windows asks you ‘What do you want Windows to do?’. But it asks only at the time of insertion. Once you close the window and later, if you want to access the drive, you need to navigate through either My Computer of Windows Explorer.
Desk Drive a free tool that offers a very quick and convenient way of accessing your removable media. Once you have Desk Drive up and running (shows up on the system tray), as soon as you insert a pen drive or a CD, a shortcut to the drive is automatically created on the Desktop. You can then easily open the drive anytime through the shortcut. Remove the media and the shortcut goes away.
Right-clicking on the system tray icon brings up a settings window where you can choose which drives to monitor.
A very simple tool, but can save you quite a bit of time and clicks.
Note: Desk Drive needs .Net Framework 2.0 to work.
