receiving it preinstalled with the now-ubiquitous U3 software.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;While ostensibly making our lives easier, the
software installs itself on every computer you plug it in to, whether you want
it to or not.&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Removing this feature is &lt;strike&gt;impossible&lt;/strike&gt; easy!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Attached is the uninstaller that will render the drive U3-less.&amp;nbsp; I don&amp;#39;t have to tools to put the software back on, so if you remove it and later find you wanted the functionality after all, whoops--buy a new one.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://in.materials.drexel.edu/blogs/msetech/attachment/206.ashx"&gt;Download the U3 Remover software&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://in.materials.drexel.edu/aggbug.aspx?PostID=206" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><enclosure url="http://in.materials.drexel.edu/blogs/msetech/attachment/206.ashx" length="2526556" type="application/zip" /><category domain="http://in.materials.drexel.edu/blogs/msetech/archive/tags/u3/default.aspx">u3</category><category domain="http://in.materials.drexel.edu/blogs/msetech/archive/tags/remove/default.aspx">remove</category><category domain="http://in.materials.drexel.edu/blogs/msetech/archive/tags/usb/default.aspx">usb</category></item></channel></rss>
