What I would really like is just a stand alone program that would do job without all the bells and whistles.

I tried to find something like that a few years ago and discovered that there's something about my USB keyboard that doesn't like having its LED toggled numerous times a second.  Either the LED would get stuck in a particular state, or the keyboard itself would go nuts requiring a reboot.

I gave up and ended up using FloatLED: http://www.stone-oakvalley-studios.com/index_software.php

I had spent long hours searching for a solution and after I post this message, I find a couple of software solutions.

FloatLED is based on this software DriveGLEAM found at http://www.dirtcellar.net/
What is cool about this program is that you can hook up and control LEDs from the
parallel port.

I also found an autohotkey script at http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic17954.html

What I would really like is just a stand alone program that would do job without all the bells and whistles.

Years ago I found a program that allowed you to use the scroll lock LED as a hard drive light indicator.
I have not been able to find it again after numurous pcs and HD crashes. I tried searching the net and
have not found a replacement either.

This was WAY before motherboards had integrated hard drive controllers. I think they were intercepting
hardware int15.

There is a software version that sits in the task tray but I find that one annoying.

Thanks!

I might not be able to use it but it looks like you have a lot of other fans that will.
Thanks again.

Hi destiny_ruler,

Thanks for jumping in and supplying another option.

Unfortunately I am unable to run your program at work since they do not have .net installed on the computers.

Thanks for the hard work.
