Everyone needs to remove a USB device every so often; too bad the Safely Remove Hardware applet sitting in your System tray is so slow. I’ve been playing with the USB Disk Ejector, a nifty little freebie that lets you quickly remove USB devices -- scanners, flash drives, external hard drives, whatever -- by either the drive letter or name, or from the name of the program the USB device is using.
While you’re here, take a quick look at our You Can't Beat USB video.
Just what I've been looking for and it even works on Vista.
