How can you safely remove a USB stick (inserted to play media files located on it) without switching out (ALT+TAB) or ALT+ENTER to get at the notification icon? Is there a plugin for this, or a menu item somewhere?

Thanks

I am unaware of any such plug-in for Media Portal.

You can make sure write caching is disabled and you "shouldn't" have any issues just pulling it out. I work in IT and use them all day everyday and have never had a problem doing that. Just make sure the light is not flashing and nothing is being written to the memory stick when you pull it out.

Disable Write Caching:

-Right click on the device (ie. a removable hard disk drive)
-Properties
-Hardware
-You choose the device
-Properties
-Policies
-Optimize for quick removal
