I never noticed it before until I read your post. But my PC does the same
thing. I guess you cannot "eject" a USB device but only DVD's, CD's and
memorycard drives. Does it bother you? Happy putering :~)

My 3 1/2" bay camera card reader has 4 "multi" slots for camera cards, a USB.
port, firewire port, and sound jacks.
In Windows Explorer, on right-click pop-out menus there are "Eject" options
for the camera card slots but, not for the USB port - when for example I've
got a flash memory pen-drive plugged into it.
The USB/Green arrow thingy in system tray often won't let me "Safely
remove..." the pen-drive/letter it because somthing annoying like PowerDVD
,(which I haven't even used since boot-up, and in which I have rummaged in,
in the past, to try and find settings to stop it slapping a handle on of a
drive letter assigned to the pen-drive), is holding onto it. So I have to
e.g ProcessExplorer and terminate the PowerDVD handle, and then I can
"Safely remove hardware..." ....i.e the pen-drive.
So, my question is, why is there an "Eject" option on the right-click
pop-out menu for the memory card slot/drive letters but, not for the USB
port, when e.g. a pen-drive is plugged into it :-)
