Hardware
i wanted 2 know how to remove hardware safely using a shorcut.
this shortcut should be direct.
i.e. when u press the shortcut key the device should be removed at the same time and no dialog box should pop up when doing this.

Is there a way to "Safely Remove Hardware" from a batch file?

The DevCon command-line utility functions as an alternative to Device Manager

At a Command Prompt type in C:\devcon -m \\PC Name status * > dev.txt
Sample below with devcon in the Root Directory and it says that the Device has been Removed. It seems Ok after testing a few times.
@echo off
c:
C:\devcon.exe remove USBSTOR\DISK*
goto END
:END

That with the absence of a Pop-up confirmation, you allow the possibility of Sod's Law.
Sod's Law would say that you can easily drive a car without a seat-belt so that when you want to get out of the car, you can do it quicker. But one in a million times you may find yourself leaving the car via the windscreen!!
When it comes to USB devices, I'll stick with the pop-up confirmation. ;)
