USB Disk Ejector is a small, simple and easy-to-use program that allows you to quickly remove USB devices in Windows XP. Its essentially a replacement for the 'safely remove hardware' feature, but is quicker and simpler than drilling down through the safely remove hardware dialog.
Here are some key features of "USB Disk Ejector":
· Mobile Mode: This allows for portability; you can carry the program on a USB device and then use it to remove that device from whatever computer you are using. For example - you can run the program from a USB pen drive, enable mobile mode and then eject that pen drive. Click the 'run in mobile mode' checkbox to restart the program in mobile mode.
· IPod Eyecandy: If you have an IPod connected via USB, then it will have an IPod icon instead of the usual disk icon in the program.
· Minimize to Tray: If you minimize the program, it will minimize to an icon in the system tray and wont show in the taskbar until restored.
· Command Line Arguments: You can start the program with two different command line options, both can be used at the same time. /MOBILE - starts the program in mobile mode. /SILENT - stops the balloon tip from appearing when the program is minimized.
What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Now works on Windows Vista. It's only been tested on XP and Vista but should work with earlier versions of Windows too.

· The keyboard can now be used to eject drives (press enter).
· Completely reworked the command line options, the old ones were removed and new ones added. See the rest of the readme for more information on these.
· Drives can now be ejected entirely from the command line. You can specify a drive letter, drive name, or partial drive name.
· Mobile mode has been removed, its now automatic. The program will restart itself in mobile mode when appropriate.
· Completely rewrote the drive scanning code. USB devices that dont identify themselves as removable disks can now be managed by the program.
