No joke . . . this is one of the best USB software items I have ever come across.

USB Safely Remove is a USB device manager. It saves time and extends user abilities on active work with flash-drives, portable drives, card readers and other gadgets. The main disadvantage of using built-in Windows safe removal tool is that in case of having several hot-plug devices it is quite difficult to recognize a needed to stop device - the most devices have the same name - “USB mass storage device”. In addition, Windows does not let you hide a device you would not want to stop from the menu. USB Safely Remove saves you from these problems and offers an original and multifunctional stopping menu, which displays actual device names with icons. Using this menu you can find and stop a device in a snap! There is much more about this software such as Program autorun on device connection\disconnection - Command line to safe removal - Working with any hot-plug devices - USB, SATA, FireWire, PCMCIA etc. Visit the web site and find out more. NOT TO BE MISSED!
