IDEA: Remind User a Flash Drive is Plugged In During Shutdown

(1/2) > >>

acolburn:
More than once I have turned off my computer and walked away, only to remember later I left my flash drive plugged in. It would be great to have a small app that alerted me to the fact. It could be a message box, a sound, or something else. It could prevent the machine from shutting down until the flash drive was removed, until the user clicked an "OK" button, or it could do nothing more than remind users a thumb drive was plugged in.

Among the choices are...

Flash Drive Reminder:

FlashRecall:

mouser:
oh hey that's a clever idea.. and interesting to see a dc member already knows about 2 existing free tools!

sajman99:
Hi mouser. Yeah, acolburn has a good idea! I also have left my flash drive at home plugged to the PC..uh...a few times. :-[

ewemoa:
Sounds like a nice idea.

I didn't figure out whether either suggested program could remind one periodically.
