Never Forget To Unplug USB Device Before Shutting Down Your PC Again

Have you ever experienced shutting down your PC then “ooops you just realized that your USB device is still plugged in” or you left your flash drive in an internet cafe, and when you come back for it, it’s already gone. That is really frustrating especially the second scenario. So if you do not want to experience these frustrating situations, check out these tools that will remind you to unplug your USB device before shutting down your PC.

1. Flash Drive Reminder

Flash Drive Reminder is a lightweight, freeware utility that pops up a reminder if you log off Windows
without removing your flash drive. It adds an entry to the AutoPlay dialog that pops up when you insert a flash drive into a computer. If you select that entry, the application will launch.

Flash Drive Reminder has two versions:

1. Standard Version

The Standard version pops up a small window when Reminder starts. This window serves as a reminder that the flash drive is still in the computer.

2. Quiet Version

The Quiet version has no options and does not pop up a window when you insert your flash drive. All it does is pop up a reminder to remove the drive when you log off or shut down the computer.

NOTE: You will not be able to use the Windows’ safely remove hardware utility when the application is running.

2. FlashRecall

FlashRecall will show a popup window and play a beep with the motherboard speaker (if available) when you shutdown your PC or logoff the current user without removing the USB device.

FlashRecall has a portable version which you can use when you’re in an internet cafe or somewhere else.
