Tips like shortcut for removing USB and so on

Hi Nicki,

Generally we remove the USB drives by using the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon found in the system tray. However, it is possible to create shortcuts for removing USB drives.

These simple steps should help –

1. Right-click anywhere on the desktop and choose New > Shortcut.
2. Place this text 'RunDll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll' in the shortcut location.
3. Save the shortcut and name it safely-remove-hardware.exe, a shortcut with this name should now be present in the desktop.
4. Right click on the shortcut, select properties, choose your preferred shortcut key, we chose Ctrl + Alt + S.

You can as well have a look at this informative video "Remove USB Shortcut" –

Hope this helped.

Regards,

Mclean Buono
