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?
1Many programs require a removable usb to interact with rather than an HDD folder and thus providing a method to build a virtual removable usb is an important query in its own right. – Mr Purple – 2017-08-21T20:52:05.073

You could use a Ramdisk: http://memory.dataram.com/products-and-services/software/ramdisk

Yes, the idea of smartcards and USB tokens is that nobody should be able to copy them (https://www.entrust.com/smartcards-and-usb-tokens/). To use a "two-factor authentification" you have to 1) know something (a PIN or password) and 2) have something (the token). You could use an X.509 PKI certificate stored in a file (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.509).
