Desktop Media – Have Shortcuts for Drives in Your Desktop
This is another wonderful app I was able to find which helps a lot and saves a lot of time in the day to day life. If you are a person who uses CDs, network drives, RAM disks and USB thumb drives, this app can make your life so easy. This app creates desktop shortcuts whenever you insert a CD or USB thumb drive or whenever a network drive/RAMDisk drive becomes available giving you easy access to any of the removable drives which you might want to use on a daily basis. All these are fully customizable in the simple and easy options interface (see screenshot below)
Backup your flash drives with USB Image Tool
USB Image Tool is a utility for creating an exact image of pretty much anything you plug into your USB port. This isn’t the same thing as copying and pasting all the files on a flash drive to a new directory or zip file. Instead, every chunk of data on your flash drive is saved in a single file that you can then burn to a disc, upload to an offsite storage location, or just save on your hard drive.
If you keep work documents, portable applications, or other important data on a flash drive, it’s a good idea to back it up occasionally. USB Image Tool makes the process about as simple as can be. You plug in a drive, hit backup, and choose a location to store the image. You can also select a compressed file format if you want to save a little bit of space, but it takes longer to create a compressed image.
