USB Lost and Found

USB Lost and Found is a small application whose sole purpose is to display a message on your USB flash drive, in case it gets lost and the finder wants to return it. It addresses all people who want to take an extra security measure with no fuss.

The installation procedure is quick and does not require special attention from the user. Its interface is based on a small window with a simple layout.

The "what you see is what you get" concept clearly applies to the tool, since there are no other options available, aside from the ones visible in the main application window.

All you have to do is select the USB device by using the folder view, write contact information (phone number or email), and apply the new settings by clicking the "Install" button.

The modifications are carried out once you plug the flash drive into the computer once again. In order to view this message, the user must run the Setup executable file in the root. Disabling this message via USB Lost and Found is done in a similar manner.

The application barely uses CPU and system memory, so it doesn't affect the computer's overall performance. It has a good response time and works well, without making the operating system hang, crash or pop up error dialogs; we haven't encountered any issues throughout our evaluation. On the downside, USB Lost and Found has not been updated for a while.
