hey John (from January 16th)–

What if you’ve never been to this site before, you peckerhead? Why take the time to flame someone rather than answer the question? This was my first time on this site, and it took several minutes to find that link.

What do you mean…Where’s the download link? If you have downloaded at least one item form here, you should remember where the download link is.

I downloaded this because I can eject an usb hard drive and didn’t want to turn off the computer, but it didn’t work either, it say I have a program using the drive and to close it first.

Thanks so much for posting this. I had just got back from buying a flash drive for my dad to use when I saw this post! This makes it much simpler for him to eject his drive then looking for the little windows icon. Also, the program may use 8MB memory, but it’s only running for the few seconds u open it to eject your disk so that doesn’t matter. For people like my dad who are still learning about using computers, this is a convenient, simple option.

This seems useful for ejecting a drive from the command line, for e.g. at the end of a backup script that runs overnight, so the external hdd is parked / turned off after it’s done (in my case the alternative would be to leave it on for the entire day until I’m back home).

@Ethan: Right click Eject does not work (at least on XP) for external hard disks, only for flash drives and stuff that Windows considers “Devices with removable storage” I think.

@Tommy: at least on my firefox, the “download link” sentence is in a much smaller font, and right before the big black navigation banner, so, yes, it’s not that intuitive to find it (though once you know what to look for, it’s not that hard either)

joe: Yeah, the “Go to program page to download”-link is totally confusing. Does it send you to Amazon.com? Does it destroy your computer? Does it declear war with Norway? Or does it take you the the program page to download? I don’t know! Ahh! The headache! It’s all so HARD!

The best thing about this over left clicking is it tells you the name of the device not something generic like “usb mass storage device e:”.

Very handy if you’ve got two or more devices plugged in.

In vista you can also go to my computer, select the usb drive, and either hit the eject button in the right-click menu or eject in that menu above the drives.

Another way to call “Safely Remove Hardware” dialogue is to run the following command

%windir%\system32\RunDll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll

I have a desktop shortcut with this command in its “Target” property.

Hah! You guys are right. I actually never tried left clicking the icon.
This posting needs to be re-written. There is, hwoever, a value added in that you do not have to deal with Windows refusing to eject a drive and telling you that it cannot be done at the moment and try again later.
