    Default Hot Keying windows functions?

    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.
    I'll procrastinate tomorrow.

    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.
