I really don't understand the point of this program... at least in my case. I just click on the 'safely remove hardware' button in the task bar. Its quick, and simple. For my situation I can not see a reason why I would need this program.


Well there is all bunch of reasons why ou should use this program because someone had enough freee time in their life to write something like this then because iot looks pretiery and then finally because you would look higher in the crowd with this program.

lol I am joking I am satisfied with this utility microsoft provided it is doing its job it is simple the was I like it.

Best Regards

It's just a simpler way of removing your hardware. It looks nicer, and isn't as confusing as the default windows one. It could be very useful for beginners, especially people new to the world of Windows.

Usb Disk Ejector

Replying to KansukeKojima

Safely remove hardware route is a little 'ugly' for some folks (eject in explorer is better) and, assuming this is doing the same job, this requires less clicks anyway.

Because sometimes your hard drives are in Safely Remove Hardware and if you accidentally click them, serious problems may occur. (note: may)
I personally use USB Safely Remove.
It's a lot better than the one in windows because it allows you to hide certain devices so that what I said above can't happen.
It also doesn't appear in the tray except if a USB Drive/device is in. Pretty useful, in my opinion.
If your hard drives don't appear in Safely Remove Hardware, then you really don't need the program showed in the thread or the program I referenced to.

I must say also that, despite its usefulness (if that word exists, not sure really), this is a program or a tool that one could ever only use if not at an admin account, and so one can not remove safely his pen drive or media drive (like mp3 pen drive or whatever), and so, using this program the situation gets resolved quickly, nonetheless, and despite the fact that happened to me a couple of months back when i used an internet caffe computer to use the internet, and in the end of my paid time, i wanted to go our and so i also wanted to remove my pen drive (safely of course, if you just take it, you will most likely break it, only media drives can be removed without that safe method, but aalways do the safe method of removing pen drives (media or just normal pen drives), because the pen drives despite the fact that know they are not expensive, they do cost money.

I wish this also did this
Usb Disk Ejector

The most annoying problem is that a USB sometimes refuses to shut itself and one cannot safely remove it. I tried "unlock" programs but none works for this problem.

If a program shows what process has locked onto the USB device preventing it from removal, it will be very useful.

The underlying problem
Usb Disk Ejector

None of this changes the fact that, like only one person stated above, 98% of the time (for me at least) windows refuses to safely unplug the device even if I plugged it in and transferred no data or even accessed the drive. Id flip out if this unbelievably annoying and frustrating problem caused me to lose any data. I've surmised that this software would not solve the real issue from reading the comments. I always try to use the correct method to unplug the device b/c I am partial to the data I paid to have. And would expect the computer and drive I paid for to work cohesively to keep it safe.
