USB Disk Ejector

Some software applications are absolutely essential to performing common tasks. USB-Disk Ejector is not one of those indispensable programs but it facilitates what has definitely become one of the most frequent tasks: ejecting a removable USB device.

Of course, you can always disconnect USB devices using Windows “Safely Remove Hardware” option from the system tray. The fact is that sometimes this option fails to do its task because there is a program running from the disk or an Explorer window is showing its contents.

USB-Disk Ejector will help you unplug USB devices faster. In this respect, you can create shortcuts or hotkeys to eject a drive. It will also deal with those situations that prevent ejection. It is capable of ejecting a pendrive, even if this very program is running from it. However, it will not close applications that have opened a file from the external drive.

I would not say the program has a beautiful interface but I would definitely add in its favor that it is quite simple to use. The software runs from the system tray so it will not use desktop or task bar space and just clicking on its icon there will let you remove a device.

USB-Disk Ejector supports all Windows versions from XP onwards.
