USB Disk Ejector


h1
Current Version: 1.1.2 [Download Latest] [Read the Readme]

A program that allows you to quickly remove USB devices in Windows. It was originally designed to remove only USB pen drives but will now eject any USB device. It can be run as a non-visual command line program or a normal gui program. Its very useful if you have a USB flash/pen drive, especially if you use a menu such as PStart or the Portable Apps launcher.

The command line options are very flexible, they can be used to:

  • Eject the drive that the program is running from.
  • Eject a drive by specifying a drive letter.
  • Eject a drive by specifying a drive name.
  • Eject a drive by specifying a partial drive name.

When run as a ‘normal’ GUI program the tools enables USB devices to be quickly ejected through a mouse click or keyboard press. It’s especially useful when dealing with multiple USB devices and for Vista users who don’t want the ‘now safe to remove this device’ dialog box to appear.

The program was designed for and has been tested on Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista. It does not work on Windows 98 (this may change in a future release).

If you use the code, make changes or spot problems, please let me know. It’d be nice to know that someone finds it useful. All code should compile successfully on Delphi 7 and 2007 and should work with Delphi 6 if the XP Manifest component is removed. It is untested with Delphi 5 and under.

The quality of the code is variable, some of it is very old or based on old code and some of it was written back when I was learning programming. Much of it shows a disregard for coding conventions and I haven’t yet found the time to refactor and clean it up. In short, your mileage may vary.


Miscellaneous
