Windows 10: create shortcut to remove all connected USB drives in one click

Good Day All just wondering if there is a way to create a desktop shortcut that would shut down make safe to remove all connected USB type hard drives rather than doing it one by one via the lower right corner

Many Thanks in ADV

:)

 

Cannot Drag and Drop into Edge

Yeah, it doesn't do drag n drop (why? you'll have to ask MS) Easiest way around this is to copy & paste the address & create a shortcut. Right click on the desktop to create a new shortcut. Paste the web address in and give it a name; this will create a
new shortcut. LONG way to get there, but it's all you can do for now if you want to use Edge.

If you're upgrading from Windows 7 for ex. to 10, then Windows will create a Windows.old directory. You can search there (Users\Your Account Name\Desktop) IF however you reformat your drive before installing Windows 10 (a fresh install), then you'll need
to backup your important stuff first (like Desktop that has all your shortcuts) to another disk or USB drive.
