Tech tip

If you often use removable USB devices like a flash drive,etc, you are familiar with the “Safely Remove Hardware” icon that sits in the system tray.

The problem is that the icon is tiny, and clicking it just right to bring up the menu is uneasy.

We can make a shortcut icon to bring up the dialog which is quite easier than clicking on the tiny icon.

Create a Shortcut to the Safely Remove Hardware

Create a shortcut icon by Right -click on Desktop then
select New->Shortcut
In the Location text box, just copy and paste the text below.

RunDll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll

Give a name for the shortcut icon(eg:unplug) and click Finish.

A shortcut icon will be created, just double click on the icon to get the safely remove hardware dialog
