Get Automatic Desktop Shortcuts on Plugging USB Drives
By Madhur Kapoor on Sep 9, 2008 in Windows
Whenever we insert a USB drive in our computer, we have to Navigate to My Computer to open it. Although there is Auto Run Functionality, but that should be avoided as it is the most common cause of virus infection. Desk Drive solves this annoying problem by adding a Desktop shortcut automatically when the drive is inserted. When the drive is removed, the shortcut automatically disappears. Simple isn’t it.
It sits in the system tray and comes with some configuration options. You can specify which types of media should it monitor such as CD ROM, Networked, RAM etc. You can also specify whether the icons should have fixed positions and which drives should it ignore.
It is a freeware and supports both XP and Vista. It needs .Net Framework 2.0 to run.
That would be quite useful, but I cant share my RAM for using this application….

Hi, is it possible to create the shortcuts dynamically not only for the desktop, but for a user-specified directory. I am using rocketdock with stack docklet. If I can have dynamic shortcuts for usb devices plugged in, my stack docket will show dynamic drives on the stack docket too. Thanks
