[access-uk] Re: pen drives

Hi.

There isn't a version of outlook express for u3 as far as I know; the 
technology is still quite new and it is a shame really as I use outlook and 
would love to store all my contacts, calendar, emails etc on my pen rather than 
on my netbook, having to regularly synchronise.  I'll be sure to let you know 
though if I find any solution to your query as I'm sure others wish the same.

  Hi Ibraham or anyone else either,
  I am very interested in being able to run my Outlook Express from a USB 
drive.  Can you tell me please how I go about putting Outlook Express on to the 
drive so that I can then install all my e-mail Accounts etc and have that 
option of being able to use it on other computers other than my own.  I could 
do this when visiting family and friends who do not obviously have my settings 
etc on their computers.

    Hi.

    Yes, that might save email you download or whatever to the pen drive, but 
say the machine your using isn't loaded with outlook express or you have 
complicated settings and preferences for your email.  The point is with U3 you 
can run programs directly from the drive, just like you'd run them from your 
computer.  The whole program, data files, executables etc get stored on the 
drive and you can use the said email on any machine you slot the pen in to.  
Sorry if this is a little confusing, but the best I can do is point you to 
www.u3.com if your interested in the technology.

      I've lost you a little on this thread.  So how do you get your own email 
immediately saved to the pen drive?  (Think I may have answered my own question 
but here's checking ...)  Suppose, wen using Outlook Express you just change 
your store folder for the email folders.  Hmmm!  Haven't thought of doing that 
one.  That would make life nice and easy ...

      Thanks!

        Hi.

        A standard pen drive will probably do for you then.  A smart pen drive 
will allow you to do all the stuff a standard drive can do, but you can encrypt 
the drive with a password and install programs on the drive itself IE email and 
virus scanning software.  Plug your pen drive in to a pc and you'll have your 
own email instantly and the virus scanner will ensure the machine your using is 
free and prevent infected files from being copied to your drive as that is how 
some viruses spread.  The above is just an example of what a U3 drive can do; I 
personally wouldn't go back to using a standard drive again.

          What is the difference? What advantage if any does a Smart Pen drive 
have over a standard drive?

          I just want to transfer files, and maybe store some data -

            Hi.

            It depends on what type of pen drive your looking for.  If your 
looking for just a standard pen drive, they should be compatible with both xp 
and vista with no issues arising.  If your thinking of buying a smart pen drive 
such as a U3 drive, you'll need to check that any applications you install on 
it are up-to-date and are compatible with vista.  In some cases, you will also 
have to update the U3 launcher software as the preinstalled version on some 
drives is not compatible with vista.  An updated version is available at 
www.u3.com.

            Hope this helps.

              Hi all -

              I'm going to end up with a vista laptop and an XP netbook; I'm 
thihnking of getting a pen drive to transfer data, are there different kinds of 
USB pen drives? Are there any compatible issues? Also, are pen drives just plug 
and play, or do they need to be configured in some way?

              Thanks -

              Andy
