    Ways to eject USB devices other than from system tray


    The "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media" icon in the taskbar is useful for me only when I need to eject a device. But as I'm in the process of getting rid of most of the icons in my taskbar's system tray, I need to find another way to do it.I've checked everywhere - settings, the control panel, command prompt, and the run window - but I can't seem to find another way to do it anywhere. Does anyone know a solution?

    :)

    Safely remove hardware tray icon refuses to eject USB media

    I tried it with my "WD My Book 1230 USB Device" and that won't eject either. There is no eject option in File Explorer. The eject tray icon is broken.

    I cannot eject my external hard disk.

    USB device eject annoying message

    Classic USB device, like a classic keychain flash drive, remove from my Windows 2000 SP4 open always this window:

    Even I use the sync.exe utility ( http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/fileanddisk/sync.mspx ) with parameters "sync.exe -r -e" with flush and eject the drive. Then I think it is safe to eject the USB device, since I already forced all the data to be written on the device before removing it.

    Yet still the message appear.

    Any ideas how to disable it?

    ejecting a usb drive in 10

    Hi Walden,



    I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with accessing Safely Remove and Eject Media USB icon on the taskbar.



    To assist you better, please provide us the below information:

    • When you say that "not I can not get it to show up in bottom right lower", are you referring that you are not able to see the Eject USB icon under the show hidden icons?


    I suggest you to follow the steps below to understand the system

    1. Click on Search bar.

    2. Then type "Select which icons appear on the taskbar" without the quotes in the search bar and click on it.

    3. Turn on Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media icon.

    Reply to us with the information, so that we can assist you better.



    Please get back to us with an update on issue, we will be happy to help.



    Thank you.
