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
