Where do you want to click today?

Disconnecting USB drive safely from your laptop/desktop takes exactly 4 clicks with Windows.

Step 1: Start

Step 2: Select the USB Device, please. Even if it is dead obvious that there is only one device to be choose!

Step 3: Now, tell me, you want to stop the "USB Mass Storage Device," "Generic Volume," or "USB 2.0 Flash Disk USB Device?" Yeah, we know, you told us you want to stop "USB Mass Storage Device" in previous step, but nevertheless let us have some fun while you ponder cluelessly. Did you notice our ultra-cool option of "USB 2.0 Flash Disk USB Device?" That one got the internal award for "The Most Esoteric Message for Additional Hardware" of 2006.

Step 4: Yay! You have managed to decipher our message. Congratulations! We have already informed you that you can eject that USB device with a helpful balloon in the tray. See, that device is already gone. Now, one final click for this window to vanish.

Well, tell me again, why do I need to "Safely Remove Hardware?" Oh, if you just pull out the drive we'll hose all the data on that drive. Right. Thanks.
