Pen Drive Question, good computer uses should know answer?

Some pen drives come with driver cd which includes password protect, however this function is 'leaky' for example going to start -> run -> browse, allows me to access my files without password.\n\nIf the files you want private are ms office documents, office has a built in password system,\n\nSave As, Tools (top right) -> security.\n\nScreen grab here ---> http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/randompenguin/grab.JPG

If you are using Windows XP, you will be able to use that Flash Drive on the computer without installing any extra software.  The nice thing about Windows is that is does it by itself.  All it will need to do is install that software it has built in when you put the flash drive in the first time, and you're set to go.  One more thing you should always remember is to go down to the taskbar and find the green symbol, right click it and choose Safely Remove Hardware.  If you do not, you run a big risk of losing all of the information on your Flash Drive.

Hope you are talking about flah/jump drives...\nI think it will depend on what exactly do you want. For example you will find a few 1GB which are smaller than other ones. Some could have integrated mp3 players, etc. About brands I've used Kingston(better reputatin in my opinion), and Sandisk(real tiny flash drive). Both have worked perfectly. So I say do not worry, as long as they have a nice warranty (which most do).

You can use the pendrive for the following:-\n\n1. Mobile office\nYou can have an array of free 'portable software' like Mozilla, AbiWord, OpenOffice.org, Foxit PDF reader on it along with your documents and access it on any machine.\n\n2. Recovery tool.\nIf your motherboard supports booting from a USB device and your pen drive also supports it, then you can load 'damn small linux' or DSL in it and recover data in case your OS goes kaput.\n\n3. Quick Access\nStore only the stuff you need very often on it and 'quick access' it on any machine.

you can do it with a batch file\n\n.&#92;subfolder&#92;subfolder&#92;file.extension\n\nwill open the file regardless of the Pen Drive name or label.

plus Banoon that wont work without a hub or you have to use a crossover cable.\nEasiest thing is just get yourself a pen drive, you can get a 2GB one for about £20 now and it will be the most useful device for the future, just make sure support for 98 is available, as a lot of manufacturers are now not making drivers for 09

"Eraser" is good... but can take a long time (depending on the size of the drive and amount of RAM).  "Window Washer" is good, too.  It's faster.  If you "add bleach" it makes more overwrites and takes longer.

Yeah, just get the installing setup icon onto your pen drive, and keep it around your neck. Easy 1.2.3.

it don't matter what kind,it's better to have a bigger space on you flash drive.you can save video or any bigger file!

its the same as using any other folder really.\n\nwhen plugged in and you have found it on your computer (my computer option). copy / cut the file / folder you want on your pen drive and then paste into your pen drive folder.\n\notherwise, press "control" left click once and hold onto the file/folder you want to move and then drag it into your pen drive folder.\n\nmake sure when removing it you select the little green arrow in the bottom right of your screen (safely remove hardware).

i think you are on the right track with your idea of portable hard drive.that way you'll be protected from any repercussion from your work as it is on your device and not there's.as far as your question goes none to my knowledge.

There are NO good USB ones, they are too slow!  Quality sux!  Buy a desktop and get an ATI ALL IN WONDER Card.  This is what the professionals use.

I have seen some models with 60Gb/100Gb IDE drives.  The 60Gb disks were 4200RPM.  Most likely to be 2.5" disk drives.\n\nHowever, if you want higher storage capacity then try external hard disk drives.  These can plug into the USB ports. You have the option of using either 2.5" disk drives(expensive) or 3.5" disk drives(cheaper, used in desktops).  You can have upto 200/250Gb or even 400Gb depending on your budget.\n\nBattery Wizard\nhttp://www.ComputerBatteries.co.uk

It depends on what you are going to use it for.  I would suggest a minimum 512MB.  1gb and higher are still a little on the pricey side.  Again if it is to store just word documents and stuff then 512 will be fine.  I use my 512 to keep programs(adaware, firefox, ...) I need when I fix computers.

Um not in the sense you're suggesting, but you CAN write and rewrite stuff on there. But I would just suggest a simple flash drive. For $5 after rebate you get firewall+1 GB flash drive.\n\nhttp://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2563541&CatId=0
