I really could of done with this a few months ago. My mom bought me a flash drive for when I went to my new school and it had the dreaded U3 on it. When I plugged it into any of the systems it would not work as our school firewall blocks EXE files. This meant that I could not use that drive.

I have only one USB flash drive at the moment. A 16 GB “Super USB” drive that I picked up at a local electronics liquidation outlet. I have a few portable apps installed on that drive and the rest of it is filled with media files. I’m even thinking about picking up another one sometime soon. You can never have too much ultra-portable storage dangling from your key chain. :)

why not keep it? It really doesn’t affect the computer and its not that big of a file.

I’ve always stuck to mikomi for my flash drives, They don’t come with anything pre-installed just a fresh partition waiting to be full up!

I have about five 1GB ones lying around here and an 8GB one that I carry everywhere with me on my keyring. Handy little thing.

To get rid of my flash drive apps, I format it to FAT32 and kiss the U3 software goodbye.

By the way, I only have a 1GB flash drive.

In my opinion you should always have more than one flash drive. Personally, I have three currently. One I use for school work, another for messing around with and so on. Also if you happen to lose your only one big flash drive, thats a big problem! And I have found that more people like the U3 then not. I personally have not used the U3 software yet, but I plan to.

Friends! I have one old, very old 16MB flash drive, which still work fine, but only keep it as a historical relic. For my work I use a 1GB Toshiba U3 flash drive and I found the U3 software very usefull. For example the pop email software for cheking my emails at client computer without creting a new acount in his Microsoft Outlook. But anyway is a good thing to know that in any moment I can remove the U3 software if needed. Thanks!

I think I’ll be laughing at myself few years to come as I just bought a 8GB drive months ago which cost ~USD 30.
I guess the price will drop significantly by this year end. :S

I have a Patriot XT 8gb flash drive. It is super fast and I use it with most of my software. I love the fact I can carry my Firefox, Thunderbird, and my cd burner software wherever I go along with a few other free favorites. I use Pstart for my software menu. Works well and is small and free.

I have three, a 4gb, 512mb and a *cry* 128mb. Each has a purpose — and one has U3 on it. I used to use the U3 software, but over time I just forgot about it. I don’t bother deleting the software, since it isn’t my primary drive. It never crossed my mind that I could remove the U3 stuff though…..

you could also just completely format the drive, which should get rid of everything, I think. What I want to know is how well that usb to ram thing works in windows vista.
