Hot Keying windows functions?

[Oneslowz28]

I do a lot of back and forth between 2 PCs and my laptop. Most of it is done on a thumbdrive. Its a bit backwards since all 3 pcs are networked and are connected to a file server and a NAS but I guess old habits are hard to kill.

Is there a way to hot key the "eject removable drive __"?

As long as no programs are running off the drive and no data is being transferred, just yanking it out works just fine.

There's also this (http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/create-a-shortcut-or-hotkey-to-immediately-eject-a-specific-usb-drive/).

another for just pulling it out, as long as nothing is happening to the drive it will be fine. or has been for me.

I have used the pull out method for years, I just have that feeling in the back of my mind that its going to come back and bite me in the ass one day. :p

Why not just set up network sharing and allow other computers read/write access? Sounds like it'd be much easier than sneakernetting.

Just my 2c on this; as long as nothing's running on it, no files are being edited, and you aren't moving an NTFS volume to a Linux system, you should be fine just pulling it. ..just don't do that for USB-powered HDDs. :P
