But, they come with one annoying little disadvantage. You cannot change the name of the drive, no matter how many times you try. It's always PortableApps.com, and not your name, like I have in the photo above...!
Many geeks must have already found this, but for the rest of you, here are the steps:
- Plug in your device to a computer (duh!).
- Now, explore the root folder of your device, which is go to Computer and browse the flash drive.
- You'll find a bunch of things there. Open the Autorun.inf file, which should open in Notepad, or Gedit if you're using most versions of Linux.
- In there, find the line 'Label=PortableApps.com' and change the PortableApps.com part to any name you like.
- Now, save and close the file.
- Unplug the device, and connect it back again.
Now, the name you typed in should be visible. See, so easy! Enjoy!
