It contains most of the requests and bugfixes that users have requested and I think that it has finally reached a more mature state.
Ninja Pendisk WebSite: http://nunobrito.eu/ninja/
Here is the log of changes:
[added] title to tray icon
[added] timer to result window
[added] ninja.txt option to disable tray menu and avoid closing ninja ([options] --> Evil_Ninja=1)
[added] ninja.txt option to change the timer on the result window ([options] --> Result_Timer=8)
[added] when clicking on option "Add to Shortcut" will create the shortcut by default to All Users
[modified] automatic clean option is now selected by default
[modified] filesize of ninja.exe reduced by 30% to ~700kb
[fixed] Popmenu on system tray is now hiding properly when user clicks outside the popmenu
Just left out two requests:
1 - Use a compressed format (7z) when downloading a new updated version from the web to save bandwidth.
2 - Encrypt or add a password to allow changing configuration. (using ninja.txt at this moment)
And here are the reasons why they weren't included:
1 - Would be excellent to use compression but would also require to have 7z.exe or 7z.dll on the machine, maybe using cab compression this could help but the compression ratio is not so good. To make the exe slimmer I've used UPX to compress from 1200kb to ~700Kb
2 - Could be done. I could encrypt a second file called option.txt and ask for a password to unlock it, but I don't know how many people would really use this feature. If more requests are made then it will surely be included.
----------------
I've also been busy with a few other projects so I'm trying my best to keep ninja as updated as possible, thank you for all the feedback provided so far. I'm really happy to see this tool is really helping others.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI know this post is old but I could not register on the forum.
Thank you for the great little ninja pendisk program.
I use it daily and I'm happy with it, it keeps me safe.
I have one problem:
I have an USB card reader for my digital camera cards and I forgot to disable ninja when I downloaded my photos and now I have an autorun.inf folder on my digital camera card. I know it can work like that too but I would like to delete it. Can you please explain it to me how to remove it. Maybe, if possible, place a button for such maybe rare cases of misuse so that it easier to clean it. Or, if not, maybe a small help info (with the program) on how to remove it.
Thank you.
Florin

Hi Florin.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately we didn't added that kind of functionality onto ninja pendisk so that it could be kept simple.
However there are two solutions that come to mind:
- You can use the command prompt (assuming your USB card is on drive F):
attrib -s -h -r f:\autorun.inf
And then delete this folder from explorer.
- You can format the USB drive to clean completely its contents
If you can erase the contents of the USB drive, a format is very quick and clean.
I am working on a new version that might indeed allow users to deactivate the autorun cleaning for specific devices or when desired.
Still some time missing until I get it ready for public, sorry..
