Desktop Media Displays Drive Icons On Computer Desktop

One of the great features of the Commodore Amiga computer was that it’s graphical user interface Workbench would automatically create an icon on the desktop whenever a disk was inserted into the drive. Floppy disks are not the medium of choice anymore but the feature itself would still be extremely useful for quickly accessing removable storage devices such as USB Drives, CD-Roms or sticks. Windows by default displays a dialog window if a new storage device is connected to the PC or a CD or DVD inserted into the optical drive. The Windows user can select a default action that gets executed automatically from then on but there is no option to place a drive shortcut on the desktop. Desktop Media is a lightweight program for Windows that can be used for exactly this purpose. The software supports removable, fixed and remote drives as well as CD-ROMs and ram disks.
