LaunchU3.exe is an executable file that runs the LaunchPad program, a program manager for the Windows platform that is preinstalled on U3 Smart Drives. This is not a critical Windows component and should be removed if known to cause problems. LaunchPad enables users to quickly find and manage programs and files located on their U3 Smart Drives.

A few weeks ago I bought a 16gb Sandisk Micro USB drive, awesome for doing large installations from USB and carrying around heavy duty files. Though I found the drive itself to be excellent, I didn’t have any use for the installed “U3 Launchpad” application.

U3 USB keys show up as two drives on the PC. The first drive (assigned the letter 'F:' on our PC) fools the system into thinking it's a CD-ROM drive so it can AutoPlay the LaunchPad manager. WARNING: Back up all your data before removing the U3 Launchpad METHOD 1 - Uninstall from Settings 1. Insert the U3 flash drive to the PC's USB port 2. Click the U3 icon on the system tray. Click Settings then select U3 Launchpad Settings 4. Click Uninstall on the left panel, and then click on the Uninstall U3 Launchpad button on the right.

Formatting the drive didn’t remove the app, though eventually, I discovered how to remove the U3 Launchpad software from my Sandisk USB drive.

Here’s how to remove Sandisk’s U3 Launchpad:

1. Open the Launchpad menu, and click “Settings”. You need to select the “U3 Launchpad settings” option:
   
2. Select the “Uninstall” option in the left hand navigation and click “Uninstall U3 Launchpad”
   
3. Select the restore files option (unless you want to completely wipe the drive)
   
4. Click “Next”
   
5. The uninstaller begins the format process
   
6. Your Sandisk will now be free of Launchpad
   

All done, and a remarkably easy process once you realise that the easiest way to remove this software is allow it to run…

Want to re-install U3? I can’t come up with a single reason why you’d want to do this but just in case, Sandisk’s site gives the following advice:

SanDisk’s U3 website features a U3 Launchpad Installer utility that you can use to re-install the U3 Launchpad on the Cruzer smart drive.
