A physical switch (1) is provided on a portable memory based device. The position or movement of the switch controls the data/software available (7, 8, 10)to the host (16) and defines the mode of operation executed on the host computing system to which the device connects. The device may execute a unique autorun file dependant on the switch position or movement and initiates automated execution instructions, executed by the host computing operating system to which the device connects. The instructions are predefined for each position or movement of the switch. The device can support multiple modes for example security, media, music, office desktop, VPN. Moving the switch between positions causes a mode change and initiates the unloading of the previous mode's drivers and software and initiation of the new mode's instructions. Multiple switches may be provided, and the device may communicate with the host wirelessly (13). The device may be a USB device which is disconnected and reconnected to the host by movement of the switch. |
