“ I've *@!&?!% lost my company USB Again!
”
(Never done something this silly...).
This edition is a trimmed down edition of LostAndFound that is specifically aimed to be used in the Office by employers. This edition has to be
built specifically for the office as it has the email domain hard-coded into the program to avoid the program being used outside of the office and
adds an extra level of identity as it becomes your companies edition. You can even alter the .exe icon if you wish! So how do you do it? Simply edit
this line:
$corpEmail = "example.com"
to say something like, for example
$corpEmail = "knoxious.co.uk"
In my example the users email address must be an @knoxious.co.uk address.
Sadly, in Microsoft's infinite wisdom, the autorun.inf does not fully work on removable media as of Windows 7. There is a good reason for this, it halts the spread of autorun viruses however, this could have been solved with a more elegant, and less lazy solution than just partially turning off autorun on removable media. Alas, I have thought of this and for machines that do not support autorun.inf on removable media, LostAndFound re-labels the drive to something like your name or email address to make it more likely you will be contacted for it's return.
As it stands, the current compatibility is as follows:
Full Compatibility: Windows 2000/XP/Vista (Without 967940 Security patch)
Partial Compatibility: Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7
To install LostAndFound, simply place LostAndFound.exe anywhere on your removable media and execute it. The program does the rest.
