Safely Remove Hardware Shortcut is a shortcut for your computer with a custom icon you can use before ejecting a USB drive.

Before removing a USB device, you're supposed to eject it safely, but many of us don't. Creating a shortcut simplifies the process and might even serve as a reminder to ensure you don't lose any data.

Extract Safely Remove Hardware to your Desktop. We included the icon we use because sometimes they don't copy over. Copy the icon to any folder and follow the direction in the tutorial linked below.

You can also create the shortcut manually, as explained in our tutorial.
