Flash Drive Reminder

This is a small, freeware utility that pops up a reminder if you try and log off Windows without removing your flash drive. I wrote this because I got tired of going back to computer labs because I had left my flash drive plugged into a computer.

This program adds an entry to the AutoPlay dialog that pops up when you insert a flash drive into a computer. If you select this entry, Reminder will launch. What happens next depends on which version you download.

This program might not work on Windows 7 if Autorun is disabled.

Standard version

The Standard version pops up a small window when Reminder starts. This window serves as a reminder that the flash drive is still in the computer. The Standard version also includes the following options: • Start minimized - minimize the reminder window to the Taskbar • Open an Explorer window on startup - display flash drive's files on when Reminder starts

Quiet version

The Quiet version has no options and does not pop up a window when you insert your flash drive. All it does is pop up a reminder to remove the drive when you log off or shut down the computer. However, when it is running, you will not be able to use Windows' Safely Remove Hardware utility to remove your flash drive. If this doesn't bother you, go ahead and use this version.
