I just came across a very cool tip on LifeHacker that teaches you how to label your USB flash drive with your name and phone number in case you lose it!我刚才碰到一个很冷静的秘诀就lifehacker认为,教您如何标签,您的USB闪存驱动器与您的姓名和电话号码的情况下你失去它! That is simply brilliant because I have already lost 3 and I’m sure someone somewhere is enjoying that extra 5 GB’s of storage space!这是简单的辉煌,因为我已失去了3我敢肯定,有人某处是享受额外的5 GB的的存储空间!

If I can label my drive so that when the person who finds it connects it to their computer, it will show up in My Computer with not just another drive letter, but with my actual name and phone number, thus giving me a greater chance of getting it back!如果我能标签我的驱动器,因此当人谁认定它连接到他们的电脑,它将会显示在我的电脑不只是另一个驱动器的信,但与我的真实姓名和电话号码,从而给我一个机会较大获得它回来了!

Of course, it’s always best to encrypt your USB flash drive if you have any sensitive data stored on it.当然,它总是最好的加密您的USB闪存驱动器如果您有任何敏感的数据存储在它。 Either way, if you carry half your life on your USB drive, you better have a way to get it back quickly in case you lose it!无论采用哪种方式,如果您进行一半,你的生活对您的USB驱动器,你最好有一个办法让这回很快的情况下你失去它!

Earlier I had written about a cool service called GadgetTrack that lets you刚才我已致函约冷静服务,所谓的gadgettrack ,可让您 track all of your prized gadgets like laptops, cameras, PDA’s 追踪您所有的珍贵的小工具,例如笔记型电脑,相机, PDA的 , and more in case they are lost or stolen. ,和更多的情况下,他们是遗失或被窃。 If you USB stick is that important, you might want to use this service for a minimal fee.如果您USB随身碟,是重要的是,您可能想要使用这项服务的一个最低限度的费用。

However, if you’re cheap like me, then just labeling your USB drive will suffice.不过,如果您的廉价和我一样,然后,只需标记您的USB驱动器就够了。 Here’s how you can setup your flash drive so that instead of showing up as “Removable Disk”, it comes up as “Aseem Kishore (XXX-XXX-XXXX)” along with a custom icon of yourself!这里的如何,您可以设定您的闪存驱动器,使不是显示了作为“可移动磁盘” ,它归结为“ aseem纪(三十- 三十- XXXX的) ”随着自定义图标的自己!

Step 1 is to open up a new Notepad document.第1步是打开了一个新的记事本文档。 Next, put this line in as the first line of the text file:明年付诸表决,这条线在作为第一线的文本文件:

[autorun] [自动]

Next, save the file into the root directory of your USB drive, not inside any folder and name it autorun.inf .下一步,将档案储存到根目录您的USB驱动器,而不是内的任何文件夹,并将它命名的Autorun.inf

自动

自动运行的INF

Make sure that when you save the file, you type in the . inf extension and that you choose “ All Files ” for the Save as type option.确保当您保存文件时,您可以输入在的。 inf的延伸和您选择“ 所有文件 ”为保存类型的选择。

Now that the file is saved on your USB drive as autorun.inf, go ahead a find a suitable icon for your drive that you would want to appear next to it.现在该文件是保存在您的USB驱动器作为的Autorun.inf ,请提前一找到合适的图标,为您的驱动器,你会想要显示它旁边。 In the above picture, you can see the icon was a smiling yellow icon.在上述图片,您可以看到该图标是一个黄色的笑脸图标。

If you don’t already have an icon or don’t know how to get one, you can create your own icons from any picture that you have on your computer, thus making it your USB drive even more identifiable!如果你不已经有一个图标或不知道如何获得一,您可以创建自己的图标,从任何图片,您已在您的计算机上,从而使您的USB驱动器更可识别的! I wrote a post earlier on how to use a program called ImagIcon, which lets you我写的帖子较早前就如何使用程式所谓imagicon ,它可让您 convert JPG, BMP, and PNG images into Windows icons 转换的JPG , BMP和PNG图像到Windows图标 .

Anyway, once you have your icon (.ICO) file, go ahead and save it into the root directory of your USB drive, again not inside any folder.无论如何,一旦您的图标( 。保险公司条例)文件,要大胆向前并且将它保存到根目录您的USB驱动器,再没有任何文件夹内。 Then open up the autorun.inf file in Notepad again and add the following two lines:然后打开了Autorun.inf文件在记事本再次添加以下两行:

icon = .\myicon.ico 图标= 。 \ myicon.ico
label=My Name (mobile xxx-xxx-xxxx) 标签=我名下(移动三十-三十- XXXX的)

That’s it!这样就大功告成了! Three simple lines of code in your file! 3个简单的行代码在您的档案! Obviously, put in your name and number in the above text.显然,把您的姓名及号码在上面的文字。 You can also mark the file as read-only and hide it so that it’s not visible to anyone unless they have “Show hidden files and folders” enabled, which most people do not.您也可以马克档案为唯读和隐藏它,以便它的不可见的向任何人,除非他们有“显示隐藏文件和文件夹”启用,这大多数人并不。

You can do this by right-clicking on the autorun.inf file and going to Properties .你可以做到这一点,上按一下滑鼠右键Autorun.inf文件中去的属性 On the General tab, you’ll see at the bottom two check boxes visible:在常规选项卡上,您会看到在底部的两个复选框可见:

文件属性

Go ahead and check both of those options and you’re set!要大胆向前并且检查这些选择和您! Now when you plugin your flash drive into any computer, the autorun.inf file will run and change the default name of the drive to what you specified in the file!现在,当你插件您的闪存驱动器到任何一台电脑, Autorun.inf文件将运行和更改默认的名称,驱动器,以你所指定的文件! Very simple to accomplish, yet can reap huge benefits if you ever lose that tiny little stick!!!很简单,要完成,但可以获取巨大利益,如果你失去这个微小的坚持!

Has anyone tried it and if so, did you get it to work or not?有没有人尝试它,如果这样,你得到它的工作,或不? Post a question or comment!后一问题或意见! Enjoy!享受! Source:资料来源: LifeHacker lifehacker
