Desk Drive is an application that lets you create shortcuts on your computer for external drives. It works with external disks, optical drives, USB drives, and network devices. Each time you connect a drive, the shortcut is added automatically; when you disconnect it, the shortcut disappears so the icon doesn't clutter your desktop.

Configuration options

The configuration options are straightforward. On the left you can activate the drives you want to appear as shortcuts—CD ROM, Removable, RAM, and so on. On the right you can choose whether the shortcut appears when you connect the device, adjust the shortcut effect, and other options. You can also exclude internal drives.

This platform is a great way to access your data directly without having to launch the file explorer.

Desk Drive is a free application available for Windows operating systems.
