We are happy to announce availability of USB Safely Remove 4.6! The new version includes bug fixes, UI improvements and support of skins.
Download now or read more below.
Now the program lets you make it to be looking like you prefer or conforming to your selected Windows theme. You can either choose one of pre-installed skins or even
create your own skin
Just choose this option on installation of the program and it will be automatically launched for all users on your computer and you do not need to enter the license key under other user accounts
After the unistall the programm let you choose if you wish to delete all the settings from the registry and the program log files
Now the stopping menu and notification ballons are displayed in the large fonts when you choose the correspondent option in the Windows settings.
USB Safely Remove now displays the notifications about the changes in a special notification window that doesn’t overlap the device menu and contains more information.
The device menu is now displaying on mouse hover over the system tray icon more smartly. Earlier the device menu appeared every time when you hovering the mouse over the systray icon even if you moved the mouse to the icon of another application. We fixed this rather annoying behavior and now the menu is displayed only if the mouse cursor hangs for some time over the icon.
In most cases the device icon for non storage devices were assigned to a flash drive icon. Now that's fixed and the program tries to recognize kind of the device and assign a proper icon.
- The program recognized some external drives as "Composite USB device" and didn’t see their drive letters.
- The program didn't rememeber chosen installation language
- Incorrect number of devices in the "hidden devices" link were displayed when there are more than 10 devices
- Double click to the systray icon caused an error
- Global autorun setup: Test launch of the process wasn't available for devices with more than one drive letters
- Duplicate icons were added on addition of a new icon to device library
- An error caused on attempt to fix "empty" drive letter
- An error caused on attempt to load non existent settings file
Update from 28.06.2011: version 4.6 hot-fix
It's a small update for version 4.6, here we fixed some found bugs
- Some options weren't restored on their import
- The program systray icon might display when there are no connected devices
and the option to hide the icon is enabled
- The command line tool didn't work
- The program might display "cannot connect to service" error after its
installation on Win 7 64 bit
Thank you very much for all

Hi Corey, Yes, it's possible.
Hi Corey,
Yes, it's possible. The program has an ability to save installation settings as well as the program settings and then load them on the installation in automatic mode. Read more about it in the manual.

I’ve looked at both – Zentimo
I’ve looked at both – Zentimo & USB Safely Remove (downloaded trials) incl – reviewed ‘online manual’ and system requirements, but fail to find any reference to ‘trial period’ for each and/or an ‘uninstall’ option, which I am concerned any form of ‘destructive’ behavior to existing OSes ability to restore ‘preinstallation’ of either program’s settings PRIOR to installation of your program? Can you please elaborate? (incl is any .chm or .pdf – help file included) rather than ‘cut & paste’ each web-page for saving? Thanks!

Hi,
It would be great if you send us the report from the program. In order to send the report you should proceed to "Main menu -> Help -> Report a bug", and in the opened dialog enter your e-mail and a short description of the problem. This helps us to investigate the problem more detailed.
Hi Robert, 'USB Safely
Hi Robert,
'USB Safely Remove' program shouldn't affect Autoplay feature of Windows. Perhaps this is caused by another software. Can you send us a little report to the support form and tell what OS version you are using, whether the Autoplay was restored after installation of the previous version.
The "auto run" function built
The "auto run" function built into your program has stopped working since 4.6 upgrade. I've unistalled and reinstalled and the problem was not resolved. I've had to downgrade to 4.5 beause programs I have set up to run from my USB drive when plugged in, no longer launch automatically.

Problem in win 7
Downloaded trial version and took 1 month to experience the software. The software has an annoying bug: sometimes when I try to stop my external HDD, it takes a rather long time for the software to process (about 15s) and a dialogue with message "the device ... cannot be stopped right now", two processes are listed (System and svchost.exe). When I click "Stop Again", the device still won't stop. "Forced Stop" produces the same result.
Problem exists in Vista and Win 7
Problem exists for hard drives and memory cards
Problem does NOT exist on flash drives.
Disabling indexing on the drive does not help.
Rebooting the computer and immediately using the safely remove utility works.
I have the same issue as in this thread and I don't understand why it has been so long (nearly 2 years) and yet the developer still cannot fix it.

Hello, Actually this is not a
Hello,
Actually this is not a problem of the program - it's either a bug of Windows NTFS file system or a hardware related problem (what's more likely in your case since it's not normal when stopping process lasts long) therefore it hasn't been fixed yet. Everything I can recommend now is to try to disable search indexing that may help in some cases.
Yes my program seems to be
Yes my program seems to be working intermittently as well. It keeps recognising and then removing the devices.
The program cannot do this by
The program cannot do this by design. Unlike the native safe removal tool it just shows when the device is disconnected and when it's connected, but actually it doesn't do automatic removal. If you see this behavior it means that something is wrong with your external hardware so I recommend you to replace it.
