    Free utility Desktop Media

    Pretty cool program. It puts an icon for devices on your desktop when you plug them in and removes the icon when you disconnect.\

    from Lifehacker.com

     the simple but immensely helpful task of putting instant icons for removable media on your Windows desktop. That means no more clicking through to "My Computer" to grab pictures off your thumb drive, CD, external hard drive, or whatever else you normally plug in. We've featured similar software before, but Desktop Media uses far less memory than such programs—in fact, just 1.6 MB on my Vista system. No small feat, and quite a nice utility. Desktop Media is a free download for Windows systems only. Thanks, Ryan!

    Great found! It must be greatly helpful for some people. Well, I'd like to keep my desktop clean, and don't want to mess it up with shortcuts scattered everywhere. Thanks for sharing though!
