don't forget your usb key

[sylvanie]

Hello,

when I'm at office and I lock my session with ctrl alt suppr, I'm allways afraid of forgetting my memory stick or a CD.

I have written this tool which control if CD, floppy disk, or other removable devices are present when I press ctrl and alt.

In this case it use the intern speaker to make a beep even if I have already pressed the key suppr.

Oups i forget it !!!!

[DaveF]

This is clever and useful, keep it up!

[ezzetabi]

; thanks to the person who has written this function ;-)

It is me. You are welcome.

[chelseafc]

sorry for bumping this, but why dont you make a popup box saying a thumb drive is still plugged in instead of beeping.

[ezzetabi]

Copied&Pasted from the source code itself:

if $alarme=1 Then MsgBox(16,"Support(s) oublié(s) !!","Attention au moins support a été oublié:"&@CRLF&$listsupport) ; generally the message is coming too late, but the "beep" is played even if the session is locked

[chelseafc]

thanks ezzetabi, i turned the msg box into a traytip. Now i m trying to make the box tip run without hotkeys but i cant find the code for the hotkeys. I m new to autoit so if i find it do i leave the hotkey field blank? does this mean the script will run without hotkey? also anyone tell me how to make the tray tip run every 5mins and run the script at startup

[ezzetabi]

may help:

Local $d
Local Const $min = 5

While 1
   $d = DriveGetDrive( "REMOVABLE" )
   If not @error Then
      TrayTip('Removable disk detected', 'Remember to unplug it, soon or later...', 10, 2)
   EndIf
   
   Sleep($min * 60 * 1000)
WEnd

and seek for something called 'startup folder'

[chelseafc]

yeah i think i understand the script but i dunno where to place it. Can you mod the script and post it here? thanks. Also, how do i make t run without hotkey?

ezzetabi's code is a script in itself. Just run it.

i see, can u just briefly tell me why the lenght has been dramaticallyshorten and still doen the job?

The first one beeps when you lock the console of the computer. The second one will get you a Tray Icon Notification (bubble) every 5 minutes, reminding you that there is a removable drive, it won't beep when you lock the console though.

If you wanted, you could combine the both of them for even more reminders...

Hello every body,

I'm surprised, I thought that this old topic was forgotten ...

Just for information, I have replaced the single beep :

run(@comspec&" /c "&chr(7),"",@SW_HIDE)

by

run("beep2.exe")

beep2.exe, is the compiled form of this script

It plays a little melody with the internal speaker, it's longer and more funy than a single beep ...

[Flexipoint]

I've just tested this. It works with ctrl-alt-del but not when I press Win-L

Can you tell me how to include this also ?

Thanks 4 responding I didn't expect a response. I really would like the beep to play through the external speakers because the computer speakers aren't always turned on, and I haven't been able to get the message to appear at all. I even have embedded the script in the logg of folder. Is there a file that would play the sound through the internal speakers in the path enviroment???

Well.. Code of 2005, it is older then the the most users here, Thing is.. cool stuff and so on, but legacy code.. This was for 3.1.x.x ?

If you learn autoit a bit you can remake it your self

[BrettF]

Replace beep with something like _SoundPlay() or similar to play a recorded sound...

[logmein]

A nice script but it's quite slow if your computer has a floppy disk.
