How can I make a virtual USB drive in Windows? Can it be done with DAEMON Tools or something like that?
The reason is that I need the USB drive to use them instead of a physical USB. Sometimes I need to load certificate from USB but I left it at home and when I'm on the job I want to make a virtual USB and put on them certificate, so how can I do that?
