I'm working on a skins suite and would need a tool to can easily remove the removable USB drives. My first thought was to use NirCmd, but to my surprise, I couldn't find a command to use this app for a such task. My first question would be if someone knows a such command?
If that's not possible, could you recommend another tool? Obviously I'd need one which would work in command line mode (to can use it with my skin) and preferably would be one which would work silently, in background, without showing a window (as WinCmd does). Finally this last thing is not extremely important, because the RunCommand plugin can handle this very good, but if anyone knows a such tool , I'd like to try it.
Many thanks in advance.

Re: Tool to remove USB drives
Yeah, I checked this tool, but it's too large. Probably would be good (and finally if I won't find a better one, I'll use this one), but the downloaded exe has around 4MB and I'd like to avoid including a such large exe into my package.jsmorley wrote:https://quickandeasysoftware.net/software/usb-disk-ejector
I'm still trying to find a way to use NirCmd, but couldn't find a proper command. This would be the best solution for me.
Thanks anyway.

Re: Tool to remove USB drives
I also recommend you this tool, it's very useful.
As a side note, if you don't want to display the popup window, using a config file, you can eject your usb drive with a right mouse click, as in my skins.
edit to add: I'm currently using 1.3.0.3 and it's only 954 kb... ...now it's 4 MB?

Re: Tool to remove USB drives
This one indeed is much smaller then what I've found on the web. It seems there are more versions available, all of them with different sizes. Thanks for this one.jsmorley wrote:Huh. The version I have is 900kb or so.

Re: Tool to remove USB drives
Thanks fonpaolo, jsmorley in the meantime also gave me (posted) the same 1.3.0.3 version, which indeed is smaller then 1 MB. Thanks for the tip.fonpaolo wrote:I also recommend you this tool, it's very useful.

Re: Tool to remove USB drives
I'm assuming you're going to use that in a skin, so you need command-line only utility.
Take a look at http://www.uwe-sieber.de/drivetools_e.html only ~80 Kb

I checked this one, too. The only disadvantage of it is that it has two different versions for x86 and x64 systems, so when I'll publish my skin, I'll have to add measures to use the proper version. Not impossible, but I'd like to avoid this.lysy1993lbn wrote:Take a look at http://www.uwe-sieber.de/drivetools_e.html only ~80 Kb
Anyway thanks for the info.
