New version of USB Safely Remove 4.2 is publicly available! In the new version the Development Team have invested heavily in UI improvements, stability and Windows 7 compatibility. Find below the full list of changes.
Below are the complete list of new feature in Version 4.2 that I qouted from the development blog.
New Elegant Look And Feel
A picture is worth a thousand of words, so just look below to see the changes by your own eyes.
Fixing Drive Letter For A Device
Windows may assign different drive letters to a certain device, so you are not sure what drive letter will have your flash drive on this connection. Usually it’s a bit annoying but do not prevent you working. The problem will arise when you need to start non-portable applications from the flash drive or you wish to ask a desktop application to store data to your external drive. In this case the device must have a fixed drive letter that aren’t changed amongst diferent connections.
USB Safely Remove 4.2 resolves that problem allowing you to fix drive letter to a device. Just open your device properties, switch “Drive properties” tab, choose required drive letter and check “Fix drive letter”. Starting from this moment your device will always stay with this drive letter and no one of other devices will occupy this letter even when your device is not connected.
One-click “Scan For Hardware Changes”
Stop All Devices At Once
If you are in a hurry andor need to disconnect all external drives at once to go out you will find this feature extremelly useful. Instead of clicking several times to the menu to stop devices you can press once button “Stop all” and the program will stop all the visible devices on the stopping menu.
Windows 7 Full Compatibility
We have conducted extensive testing of the program under the newest version of Windows and now you can get benefit from using USB Safely Remove under both Windows 7 64 and 32-bit versions.
Minor But Useful Improvements
- Displaying taskbar button for the most windows
- You can optionally show number of devices in the tray icon (see Options -> Look and Feel)
- The tray icon became gray if there are no devices to stop
- Hotkey for stopping the device can return it back
Bug Fixes
- The program seriously slowed down Windows XP 64 bit system startup
- Fixed some bugs of autorun feature
- PNG images were loosing alpha-channel when were loaded as device images
- And some other minor bugs…

Looks like a much better tool than the built-in device removal feature in Windows (from both an aesthetic and usability standpoint).
I see PC World called it one of the best products of the year of 2008 (http://safelyremove.com/blog/en/pcworld-100-best-products-of-2008-winner).
