hi ppl
i just got a SanDisk Cruzer Titanium 4gb
when i use it, it's all good
but i don't have the "safe remove" option from my XP system
i have to open the U3 (didn't remove it yet) and do an eject
is there any bat or prog that can do "safe unplug"?
so i can add it to the PStart menu
can't "safe remove" my DOK

I am using Sync from SysInternals. It's a tiny console EXE.
well, idk if your keeping U3 or not,
but, if i remember from the short time i had it,
as long as U3 is on it, youll have to use it to do an eject because of the install/trickery stuff it does to get it to 'auto-run'
other then removing U3 or doing what Andy says there,
i dont know of a way to safe eject it,

Very old thread update:
After guinness started working on ProEject, I seemed to see a whole bunch of other ejection tools. Obviously his program has quite a few benefits including being open source and based on the popular EjectUSB:

USB Disk Eject (mentioned on the site quite a while ago)

DriveTools - a command-line program with a variety of functions, including safe eject

Old topic update: in case of trouble while attempting to safely remove USB devices, I wanted to document Windows default way.
