Sherrie, if you can change the extension of that text file from .txt to .bat you can run the safely remove hardware dialog merely by pressing enter on the file, no need to copy and paste it into the RUN dialog. SO for example if you have that string savd in a text file called Unmount.txt change the name to Unmount.bat and press enter on it and watch what happens. Frank Ventura

Use Windows r to open the run dialog box and paste in the following RunDll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll Then press enter and the Safely Remove Hardware window opens. I just save the text in a document that can be opened and copied quickly if the need arises.

As I understand it, I just plug the flash drive into one of the USB ports on my computer. And it should show up as drive E in the "my computer" list. Is that correct? From what I understand, when using a USB external hard drive, you are meant to select the "safely remove hardware" option from somewhere on the computer before unplugging the external drive from the computer? Is this correct? And where do I find that option for when I start using my external drive? Do you have to follow the same procedure for unplugging a USB flash drive? And are Flash drives and USB hard drives regarded as the same thing? As I have a 500 gig external hard drive. And an only 1 gig flash drive.
