Create a Shortcut or Hotkey for the Safely Remove Hardware Dialog

If you often use removable USB devices like a flash drive, you are probably already familiar with the “Safely Remove Hardware” icon that sits in the system tray. The problem for many people is that the icon is tiny, and clicking it just right to bring up the menu is a pain.But don't worry,you can make a shortcut for this.For this do the following step

• Right-click anywhere on the desktop and choose New > Shortcut:
• Write 'RunDll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll' in the location box.
• Give it a name, and you’ll have a shortcut icon that will pull up the Safely Remove Hardware dialog.

Now when you want to remove a USB device just double click in the short cut icon and easily remove the device.

If you want to assign a shortcut key to this dialog, you can right-click the icon and open the properties dialog, then go to the Shortcut tab.Add in the shortcut key and close the dialog. As long as the shortcut is on your desktop you shouldn’t have to restart anything for the hotkey to work. You can also move the shortcut to another folder, for instance your quick launch bar.
