used Recently. At times it can also be a threat to your Privacy. It is really very

 USB Drive Tricks…

Any ordinary USB memory device can do a lot more than you probably thought it could.
It can carry programs, encryption and even a full installation of Windows XP! Here is our
tenlist for the coolest things you can do with a USB thumb drive:

Take your programs with you

We all know how frustrating it is when we take your files to another computer just to
discover that the software required to read the files is not installed.

Here’s the simplest solution – take your programs with you – on your USB thumb drive.
Here’s how to do it with Portable Apps:

1. Go to the Portable Apps website and download the installer, choosing the software you
want to carry along.

2. Run the installer and install the software to the root of your USB thumb drive.

And you’re done! As soon as you connect your thumb drive into a computer, Portable
Apps will open up automatically.

Surf anonymously

With Portable Apps and Firefox, you can surf the web without leaving any trace on the
computer you are using. If you want extra security, install a Firefox security plugin such
as FoxyProxy. To iput Firefox onto the drive, just copy-paste the Firefox folder from you
computer, or install Firefox onto the thumb drive.

Set a program to run automatically (autorun)

Using autorun, you can set a program to start up automatically when you connect the
drive to a computer. You can also use the same script for a data CD-ROM. Note that
some computers have autorun disabled for security purposes. [Here's how to disable
autorun.

Open up notepad and paste the following script:

[autorun]

ShellExecute=filename

Label=description

UseAutoPlay=1

Make sure you replace filename with the full path to the file. For example, a file called
program.exe in a folder called “programs” on the thumb drive would be
/programs/program.exe

Replace description with a short description of the program, for example, My Jukebox or
Mozilla Firefox.

Save the file as autorun.inf, making sure you select “All Programs” from the save
menu, not “Text document”!

Help! I’m lost!

Ever lost a USB drive? Even if you haven’t, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll lose a
few during your life. And with all the important information on it, it could be a disaster to
have it fall into someone’s hands.

A good idea is to encrypt all the information on the drive, but you would still want it
back, wouldn’t you? Luckily, the folks at the Daily Cup Of Tech have come up with a
solution.

Save a program called “Help! I’m Lost!” on the drive, that a finder just can’t get around
opening. The program opens a message box with your personal “I’m lost” message. It’s a
good idea to offer the finder a bigger reward than the drive itself, so that they’ll be
interested in contacting you.

Hide the drive inside something

Why not surprise your friends and co-workers by

sticking something that looks like a broken USB cable into the computer’s USB drive?

You’ll be sure to get a few shocked faces when you start to play a movie from it.

The guys from Technobuzz.net show us how to do it. (You are gonna need an
unbelievably small thumb drive for this…)

Secure your PC

Just like with an RFID badge, you can use a USB drive to lock and unlock a PC. Insert it
to begin working and pull it out when you’ve finished, locking the computer. There are
several programs for this . Rohos, a commercial program and WiKID, a semi-open source
one.

If you really need to secure your computer with a USB drive, I suggest you give Rohos a
try, as WiKID is rather complicated.

Portable jukebox

Don’t just carry the music with you, also carry the player! You can install audio programs
such as WinAmp and CoolPlayer+ on your thumb drive. Just unextract the ZIP folders to
the USB drive.

If you want the jukebox to start up automatically when you connect the memory stick to
the computer, use the autorun feature shown tip 3 and point it to the exe of your audio
player.
 Encrypt your data

If you carry any sensitive indormation on your USB memory stick, a good idea is to
encrypt it. Hardware-level encryption will help, but it will cost extra. You can get a free
program to encrypt your data just as securely. For this I recommend TrueCrypt, but most
others will also do.

You will need admin access on the computer you want to use your encrypted thumb drive
on, so this it’s usability a little.

Run a standalone OS for dedicated tasks

The easiest OS to boot from a USB drive is probably Linux. There are many small
capacity Linux versions out there that will fit on your drive. The best 3 are Puppy Linux,
Damn Small Linux and Webconverger.

Make sure you select a version that needs less space than your USB drive’s maximum, so
you have room for files and software.

And this leads us nicely to the final tip…

Run Windows itself from a USB thumb drive

Modifying Windows to work on a USB drive is quite difficult, but luckily there are some
tools that will do it for us. Note that you will need a separate Windows license for this, as
Microsoft only lets you use one for each single computer, and a USB drive is treated by
them like a computer…

What you’ll need:

1. A licensed copy of Windows

2. A USB device, min. 1GB (We recommend a USB hard disk, as a flash memory
stick will become unusable after 100000 writing processes. Assuming that only 2
processes are used per second, the drive will last only 60 days with 8 hours of
work each day… A hard disk doesn’t have this problem.)
