um. i just using my external hard drive to connect up to my little inspiron duo. my 1tb desktop hard drive, witch uses my portable apps.
so as i go around to all my computers and like to just plug it an and wait a few seconds to have my browser and other apps ready.
windows took that feature away in 2009 and left us with a medium manager that does not let you start programs on a USB device. but rather lets you get at your media such as music document, video and such. the ability to automattically start a program without clicking a this. just plug the usb in.
? wished it was back the way it was. i liked starting html pages and running all sorts of files and programs with just a plugging in your usb. it was nice.
so all i want to do is get that feature back.
it would be nice to plug my GPS - Geocaching devices into my laptop and plug my external USB hard drive and move information around like maps, caches, pocket queries, offline lists, souvenirs, and trackables. amongst other important files
i can save time not clicking buttons. And limiting how much software is installed and starting up on my little duo. too use as much information pushing for as little time as the battery will allow. being that i will use this devices often in one day i will most likely get to use it a max of like 3-5 times. the less time i spend on it the better.
i do use a cell phone and am able to get the job done. but it only lasts like half a day. my gps devices already last like a day and a half. so i am seeing that if i can set myself up i could connect to my gps - geocaching devices and external hard drives(portable apps) up to my mifi and update geocaching.com often so others can enjoy knowing whats going on in my area.
nothing like giving you a lot of gibberish. important start pc-tablet. plug in gps-device. plug in usb-hard drive. (programs start up automatically) connect mifi. click links login and update to geocahing.com.
note. i don't want to just run a program when i plug in my usb. i like the idea of changing the autrun.inf file to suit me needs once in awhile. it would be nice to just have the autorun.ini used like it use to be...
