Program description
-------------------

USB Safely Remove is a convenient and multifunctional replacement for the

standard Safely Remove Hardware icon. Safely Remove has been developed for
those people who extensively use USB devices and do not want to waste time
on routine operations. The program completely replaces the features of the
standard Safely Remove Hardware icon and also implements a number of
unique features.

1. You can customize the Quick Stop Menu (shown when you left-click
the "USB Safely Remove" icon in the system tray):
* Remove a USB device you never need to stop from the menu. For
example, ADSL modem, USB scanner, etc.;
* Replace the neutral default device name with a more familiar name
(for example, "John's 2GB Flash Drive" instead of simply
"FlashDrive").
* Change device icon
2. You can stop a USB device by pressing a shortcut key while working
in any application.
3. USB Safely Remove automatically removes its icon from the
notification area when there are no devices to be stopped.
Thus, you can customize the program so the icon appears only when you
need it.
4. You can specify applications or sounds that will be launched
every time you connect or stop a device.
