Another little suggestion: when the stick is taken out before closing usbpro, it should not make a big fuss of that when the computer shuts down.This is currently the case, it stops the shutdown process, complaining that its path doesn’t exist.
Yeah I know one shouldn’t take off a stick like that … no need to remind me
… I know the risk and am ready to take it, and I’m not the only one …Btw - I am convinced this program has a great potential! Haven’t looked at other launchers since years, always happy with qsel - but here I’m getting tempted.

a more intuitive solution would be check if the drive is connected via sata. then don’t remove the drive.
I still want to use the feature to close all open programms started via the launcher.
Shut down all started apps and then close the launcher and execute some exit scripts (eg. backup settings….)
That’s the only thing i miss in pstart.
