Have you ever forgot your USB flash drive was plugged into a computer and simply walked off without it? If so, then the freeware utility Flash Drive Reminder is for you:

This is a small, freeware utility that pops up a reminder if you try and log off Windows without removing your flash drive. I wrote this because I got tired of going back to computer labs because I had left my flash drive plugged into a computer.

I can imagine the author’s situation can be quite common for people who use public computers often. Using this utility pops up reminders to help you remember not to forget your USB drive which may have sensitive information on it. There are two version available, a standard (verbose) and quiet variety so pick the one which works best for you.

Personally, I have my USB drive attached to my keychain so if I forget to take it with me I won’t get too far.
