Thanks for the great tip. I get used to Ubuntu doing this, and it will be great to make it so that Windows can do the same thing.

Hold down Shift when you connect a drive/turn it on.

Just like what OS X does, eh?

Cool application. One problem that I have with my external USB drive is that my computer always has that pop-up window asking me what I want to do once the device is plugged in. Will this app solve that problem at all?

Another Pro Tip for USB drives: Set up a simple autorun.inf on it. Add three lines of code:
[autorun]
icon = .\3369.ico
label=My Name’s Drive

…and drop an icon in your root, and you’ve got fast, visual confirmation which drive letter is yours.
