Don’t Forget The USB

Storage devices have greatly evolved throughout the years, not being capable to hold large quantities of data. As such, there’s a high chance you always carry a thumb drive around, and use it on multiple computer. Just so you don’t lose it, Don’t Forget The USB can help out with both audio, and visual alerts.

Quietly sits in the tray area

One of the application’s main advantages is that you don’t have to go through a setup process to make it work, so you can just as easily leave it on the USB drive of interest. Apart from a great deal of flexibility, it also keeps the health status of the target PC intact, because registry entries are not modified in the process.
The application minimizes to the tray area directly from the start, with no tooltip to let you know it’s there. In fact, there’s not even a need to interact with it, because the whole operation is automated. The application monitors the status of your computer, emitting sound, and bringing up a pop-up message just as you’re about to shut down the computer.

This isn’t all the application can do. Interacting with the tray icon brings up a small panel to find out more about connected USB drives. A drop-down menu is used to select the target device, with results fields instantly filling up with related details like Name, Drive Letter, Model, and Space.
To extract these details you need to manually write them down, because info fields are not editable, with no support for a copy operation. If you decide to use it from a local drive, you might as well add a shortcut to the system Startup folder so you never have to worry about forgetting a USB drive plugged in.

In conclusion

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Don’t Forget The USB is a lightweight, but incredibly practical application, making sure you never leave in a hurry without your USB flash drive. It’s portable, and quietly sits in the tray area, alerting you through sound, and a message when you shut down the PC.
