Attention! Save your data only in “My Folders”, otherwise if the security settings are

changed the data will be permanently lost.

5.11. USB Drive Lost & Found™

In case your portable storage device might get lost, you can now thanks to our Lost &

Found function, let the finder know who the owner of the device is. Even if you have

chosen to password protect all your data, the finder will still be able to contact you,

without having access to your protected data on the portable storage device.

To use Lost & Found, simply fill out the form fields provided in the Lost & Found

window and click the “Apply” button. A success message will confirm you that the

process was successful.

5.12. Work with the system tray menu

Via the Carry it Easy Icon in the

system tray you are able to reach all

the Carry it Easy options.

With the Quick start option, you are

able to view your My Documents

content or to start an Internet

Explorer window with your

Favorites/Bookmarks.

5.13. Safely remove hardware

Before you unplug your portable storage device (USB Drive) from the USB port of

your computer, you have to use the “Safely Remove Hardware” option from the

system tray, otherwise you risk corrupting the data stored on your USB Drive

(especially when using Windows 2000).

To “Safely Remove Hardware”, double-clicking the system tray icon and then select

the USB Drive you want to remove from the list and click “Stop”.
