How to Add Desktop Shortcuts for Removable Drives Automatically Jan 27th 2013, 23:00 Without wanting to start a platform war, we think there are some areas in which Windows could learn from OS X. One seemingly small, but delightfully useful feature enjoyed by Mac owners sees desktop icons created whenever removable disks are inserted. This can be added to Windows with TweakNow DriveShortcut. On a Mac, plug in a USB drive or slide a CD or DVD into a drive, and an icon will instantly appear on the desktop. Remove the disk and the icon will vanish. But if you're a fan of Windows, you don't need to consider making the jump to a Mac to take advantage of this feature – nor do you need to fudge it by having icons for all of your removable drives permanently on display. A program called TweakNow DriveShortcut will create and delete shortcut icons as they are needed. Grab yourself a copy – it's free of charge.
