DrivePirate (Coded by Unleashed) - AceInfinity - 05-29-2011
Overview:
[yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LK778FBJglc[/yt]
DrivePirate is an application that I coded in vb.net which will scan your computer for drives, and give you information back on them. You can easily navigate to each drive location as well through an organized listview.

Main Area:

System Tray Context Menu:

Fairly simple, and the listview has a context menu as well
Features:
Displays drive information in listview: drive letter, volume name, available space, total size, drive ready, and format type
Size displays are accurate to 2 decimal places in GB. I could have had more, but this made it look tidy.
Can open drive location
Refresh drive list
System Tray -
Run at startup option (Looks for registry value to see whether or not it has an entry to determine whether or not to show you a check or not beside the option)
Open "My Computer"
Refresh Drive List
Exit Application

*Multiple instances of application cannot be running. (It will prompt you with an error if you try to open more than one instance of the .exe)
I might not release this one on the forum, and I might, we'll have to see. But the program is pretty much complete so far. People can't expect me to release all of my work here though
Update:
New Version Features:
Save to textfile - creates a "Drive Data" folder within the same directory as the application with a text file containing the information from the list. If the file exists, it will create a filename with a different filenumber at the end.
Automatic detect newly connected drives (USB, and other removable storage)
Update: May 30, 2011
*Fixed a bug with the form loading, and added new system information data to the preview and save to text file feature.

You seem to be coding quite a lot of simple, yet very useful applications lately. Great job mate, keep it up.
RE: DrivePirate (Coded by Unleashed) - AceInfinity - 05-29-2011
Thanks
the download for this will be released in a bit possibly, whether I add to it or not. Just need to find the time when i'm motivated to upload it and pack it into an install or something, or create it as a portable standalone app.

Now that it's already out there, I don't think I could
I already released it and one other person downloaded it
