    A simple to use and easy to set up front end for accessing programs on a usb drive. There are some slightly more sophisticated programs available but this is more than adequate. The only shortcoming that I noticed was that it is not possible set the order of items in the menu created.

    I've been using this for some time, and it works like a charm. Easy to use and works great on several of my flash drives. Recommended.

    I give it a 3 because it sounds like a promising replacement for Sandisk's U3 crapware.

    But when I try to download it my employers firewall blocks it and gives this message...

    The author might want to pick a different host for their downloads.

    I bumped it up to a 4 after I downloaded it at home. Definantly a perfect replacement for Sandisk's lame U3.

    The one thing thing that would make it a 5 would be the close all running apps also eject (safely remove) the flash drive. That was the ONLY thing good about U3.
