The random tech post: Quick safely remove hardware trick

Okay, this is a damn Windows tech post. Okay, I really hate that I have to go into a dialogue box to “safely remove hardware” whenever I want to pull out a USB drive or whatever. I found a quicker way.
Instead of double-clicking, or right-clicking, do a quick left-click, right-click, and left-click and the following pop-up menu will appear.

This pop-up is much better than the damn dialogue menu

Somtimes simply left-clicking doesn’t make this menu appear. After some experimentation with both my laptops running Win XP, I found that the three-click method is more reliable.

Yeah, this post is just to remind myself I can do this.
