It's not unusual to find 2-3 USB sticks plugged into my PC. Usually I have to hunt around on Windows Explorer trying to find out which drive letter gets assigned to which USB stick. With this, I can just click on the right brand and voila! the USB stick is unmounted.

I have had difficulty getting the "safe to remove" message when I want to disconnect an external hard drive. I was getting one of those messages saying I should check back later. Really? I need instant gratification :-) and this program delivers. It identifies whatever is holding my stuff hostage, then gives me the option to shut it down. I registered my copy after only one hour of testing and reading.

I've been looking for this for some time now. I have a Zune player that does not register in the system tray when plugged into the computer. This is a great way to get multiple usb devices in and out. Awesome program !

Well worth the money. I looked all over for a program like this. I had several pieces of USB hardware that simply would not show up in the safely remove menu. This program fixes that. It also gives you the option of making some hardware, like a USB keyboard or mouse, not appear so that you don't accidentally turn them off. You can even rename the devices so that you can more easily identify them in the menu. I would highly recommend this program to others.

I wanted a program to ease my life when pluging my USB devices, this make it all, unpluging your device has never been easier.

I had endless problems with my WiFi adaptor using the safely remove feature provided with Windows, I ended up having to perform a System Restore to get it to reinstall properly. This excellent little program has fixed the problems completely - 10 out of 10!

This is a great program. Many times I have been unable to remove a USB device, and forced to do a reboot to get some unknown program to release the device. Now it tells me exactly what programs are still using my drive, and even gives me an option to close them! It simply cannot get any better!
