What do you do to remove your plugged in USB device like flash drive? You need to move your mouse to the system tray and locate the small USB icon “Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media” (in case of Windows 7 and Vista) and click on it and confirm that you want to remove or stop a particular USB device.

But even though it is simple, it is often tiresome as you need to expand the arrow in the tray and locate the small icon (Windows 7). This where you wish you had a shortcut at some other easily accessible place. A desktop shortcut for this “Safely Remove Hardware” dialog would be much more handy. If you are like me, get to know how to create a Safely Remove Hardware shortcut in Windows 7 and Vista by following these steps.
1. Right-click on your desktop, choose New > Shortcut.

2. In the next window, paste the following code in the “location of the item”
%windir%\system32\rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll

Click the “Next” button to continue to the next step.
3. Give the shortcut a meaningful name and click the “Finish” button to complete the setup.

4. The new shortcut icon appears on your desktop.

If you have plugged in the USB flash drive, double-click on the shortcut icon to see if it works. It should open the Safely Remove Hardware window, showing you the list of currently plugged in devices (USB and non-USB as well).

Select the particular device that you want to unplug or remove and click the “Stop” button to stop the device.
The advantage with this kind of shortcut trick is that you can choose to have a shortcut key setup for even more quicker access.
To assign a shortcut for the Safely Remove Hardware shortcut, just right-click on the shortcut and choose a unique keyboard key combination to assign as hotkey.

Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media – notification problems ?
simply go to bios – somewhere in the tabs says :storage
then disable “hot plug”
save and then notification doesnt show up on windows 7 any more , worked for me
Trying out Heal Infected Sprunkies right now. That beat drop in the middle is fire! Love how the characters react to the rhythm. Definitely my new favorite phase.
NGL, Heal Infected Sprunkies is low-key sus in the best way possible. The glitch effects are so well-done and they don’t break the game. Total masterpiece!
I’m curious about the mechanics behind Heal Infected Sprunkies. Is there a hidden combo? The visuals during the transition look sus, like there’s an easter egg. Love it!
