I must compare it with the one we are using, :-) I suspect yours works across different users on the same computer.<br> <a href="http://blueonionsoftware.com/DeskDrive.aspx">http://blueonionsoftware.com/DeskDrive.aspx</a><br>

Hi folks,<br>
<br>
I gave myself a little scare yesterday by mislaying a memory stick.<br>
Nothing worse than losing data like that.<br>
<br>
So I applied myself to sorting out and automatic backup - everytime a<br>
stick goes in, it's backed up to the HDD. You may not want to manage your<br>
files that way, but it suits me.<br>
<br>
In the process, I discovered one of the coolest pieces of software I have<br>
seen in a long time - the USB Drive Letter Manager:<br>
<a href="http://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbdlm_e.html" target="_blank">www.uwe-sieber.de/usbdlm_e.html</a><br>
<br>
Using this, you can activate a process (eg copy) when a memory stick is<br>
inserted [as programmed on the host computer, not the autorun.inf on the<br>
stick], lock a stick to a particular drive letter, and even mount it to a<br>
virtual folder (eg c:\_USB\DeviceID) rather than a drive letter.<br>
<br>
Anyway, it's the sort of product that I wished I knew about when I was<br>
managing disk images in schools, so I thought I'd send it around.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
