View 4 Replies View RelatedI install a flash drive, opens automatically, when I close programs and click remove I get a window item is still in use. Close all programs and click safe to remove. I am not real literate on computers but I don't know where to go to even find if there is anything left open in the flash drive. I keep going back ti remove safely and same window comes back.. How big a risk if I just remove it?
View 3 Replies View RelatedOkay so whenever I need to remove my USB flash drive after updating some excel files, it won't allow me to remove it safely. It tells me that the device is currently in use and that I should close all programs but there aren't any programs opened. I can only remove it by going into the library and right click on the drive and select "Eject".
This only happens if I modify a file on the drive.
Have you noticed that when you requst to safly remove a "disk on key" you get the o.k to remove msg but the light on the device stays on (unlike xp where the light turns off)

There's an icon for Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media, but the problem is that it's for my Samsung internal SATA hard drive! Is there any way I can stop it from telling me it's okay to eject it? Or hide the icon itself?

I am using Windows 7, all three versions on three different computers, what is all the hype about to use the "safely remove usb device"?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using Win 7 64 bit on a Vaio laptop that's less than a year old. Recently I'm having problems safely removing flash drives, portable drives and other devices. The SRH icon appears in the tray, but nothing happens when you click on it. Trying to eject from My Computer often doesn't work either, as the "eject" option is simply missing from the context menu.I tried an idea I found on the MS forums, of creating a shortcut to the Safely Remove dialog, but that doesn't work either.(Shortcut to: C:WindowsSystem32 undll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll) -- on at least one device, it claims the portable hard drive is not a removable drive.

View 7 Replies View RelatedMy safely remove icon in the taskbar disappeared after moving it into the "hidden box" and there seems to be no way to reset it - which is strange because every other taskbar icon can be reset. I got a shortcut to the safely remove dialog window with RunDll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll , but that does not reset the icon. How to get the icon back?

View 0 Replies View RelatedJust got windows 7 32-bit. I'm stuck on is that no devices are being shown in the Safely Remove Hardware Dialogue box. I know I have a device in..it's my MP3 player which I have just copied songs over too and I can play them. There is no icon in the systems tray either. I then looked around the web and found a page showing how to create a shortcut on the desktop to activate the dialogue box.
Point target to ":C:WindowsSystem32
undll32.exe shell32.dll, Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll"
Created it, got the box up but no devices showing in it when the mp3 player was plugged in. Pulled out the mp3 player without removing safely first as didn't know how....not ideal.
I've had a Windows 7 computer for several days now. Every time I want to remove a USB from a slot, I do the 'Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media'. But it then tells me "This device is currently in use. Close any programs or windows that might be using the deice and then try again. Some of the USB's I just look at to see what was on them before trying to remove them. The last one was when I did a 'Datasafe Local Backup' When I tried to remove it, I was given the "this device is in use message...'.
