SOLUTION FOR ALL YOU THAT HAVE EVER HAD A USB DRIVE LOST OR STOLEN AT SCHOOL
---------------------------------------------------------------
I have written a program that you copy to the root of your USB drive that will decrease the chance of this happening. When on the drive, whenever anybody inserts the drive into a computer, this window pops up:
A person that has found the drive will be obliged to select this option. A person that has stolen the drive might also select this option.
When they select the option, this window (along with a command prompt window) pops up:
When they press OK, it opens another window:
The name shown here is just an example (my name!). when you have it on your drive, it will show YOUR name. When they press OK, another window pops up:
That will most likely make them want to give it back. When they press OK, one more window pops up:
Then, when they press OK in this window, nothing else pops up and the command prompt window disappears. By now, they will already be going to return it to you.
DOWNLOAD THE PROGRAM
1. save the file above.
2. unzip it to the root directory of your flash drive.
3. on your flash drive, right click the file named help.vbs and click edit.
4. now there should be this in notepad:
msgbox ("Help!!! I'm lost!!!")
msgbox ("If you have found me, PLEASE return me to insertnamehere!")
msgbox ("He would like it if you do that NOW and DO NOT mess with ANY of his files.")
msgbox ("Thank you for finding my USB drive.")
5. replace "insertnamehere" with your name.
6. Now go to file and then save and quit notepad. You are now finished. Next time someone finds or tries to steal your drive, they will see that stuff and you will hopefully get your drive back!!!!!!!!!
