Amazing Uses of USB Flash Drives You Must Go Through

by Helena Nelson I love to write on different topics

Transferring the data is most likely a very common use for a flash drive USB 2.0 or for any other version of it. But there are many other things can be done using such versatile and useful pocket-size drives. Here, in today’s article post, you’ll be browsing some amazing ways to make use of your USB flash drive despite just moving data.   

Run Transferable Apps:

Yes, maybe you are not aware of this but the fact is that apart from storing data, you can run transportable apps from your USB drive. For instance, if we talk about OpenOffice, it is an absolute office suite that takes in a word processor, spreadsheet, drawing package, etc. and is available as a transferable app. When you merge the office suite with the knack to browse the internet and go through the e-mails, you can take your extremely important computing apps with you, no matter where you go. In addition to this, you can also select other apps to install on a USB drive from the websites that give the facility of downloading and installing apps.    

Hook up To a Wireless Network:   

Do you own a wireless network? If yes, then you can make use of the Wireless Network Setup Wizard in Windows XP or the Windows Connect for saving wireless network configuration data to a USB drive. After that, you can use a drive to simply connect a PC to your wireless network. If you want to know more regarding how to use the Wireless Network Setup Wizard, then you can go for the Help and Support Centre that can be accessed from Windows XP's Start menu.

Direct It:

In case, you are willing to just transfer data with your drive and you’re running Windows XP, then you can do the same with extra effectiveness using Microsoft USB Flash Drive Manager. Yes, after installing this manager, you are able to simply copy files to and from the drive, backup, repair the full drive to and from your hard disk and modify the drive tag when you plug in the drive.         

What is more, you can also bring a drive into play as an MP3 player in conjunction with Windows Media Player and headphones. For this, all you need to do is just copy your MP3 files to your USB flash drive, connect it to your PC, and go to Windows Media Player for creating a library of the songs on your drive.
