Pstart – A Start-up Menu For Your USB Drive

Posted By: BioTecK on Saturday 20 December 2008 with 8 Comments

I bet you have a USB key drive lying somewhere in your office or at home. I mean those things doesn’t cost that much these days and having one is really necessarily, not only you can use it for saving and caring your documents around, but you can also install portables applications on it like Firefox, Notepad++ and much more.

When you have portable applications installed on your USB key a small menu would be very handy, a menu with autorun to be exactly. A menu which could start when you insert the USB key in the computer. Well, that’s possible with Pstart!

PStart is a simple tray tool to start user defined applications. Designed to run portable applications, you can start anything runnable from USB key devices or removable disks. Unlike Windows shortcuts, PStart uses relative paths, when installed as a portable application. If your USB key drive gets another drive letter when you insert it into another computer, your portable applications still can be started properly. This means you can also use PStart to start applications you burn to a CD (and don’t know the drive letter either).

So if you have a usb drive and you have portable application installed on it then PStart is really a must! Off course You can use Pstart also on your pc too. :wink:

    I didn’t know you could run FireFox from a flash drive; good to know. I do have a number of other portable apps on mine; PStart looks very useful.
