USB Disk Ejector is a free, portable program that allows you to remove drives in Windows as an alternative to Windows quickly “Safely Remove Hardware” dialog.

If any applications are running on a disk, then Windows won't be able to eject it. USB Disk Ejector can detect and auto-close any applications running from the drive before ejecting. Please note this closes apps that were launched from the disk, not applications that have opened a file on the disk. See the limitations section for more information.

Command-line options are also available allowing you to create batch files, desktop shortcuts or hotkeys, for example.
