ProEject 1.0.0
Safely dismount a removable drive with this easy-to-use tool

ProEject is a straightforward tool which makes it easy to safely dismount a removable drive.

Unlike similar tools, the program isn't just about telling Windows that you're going to unplug the drive, so any cached data can be saved correctly. It's also able to save programs which you've launched from the drive. And it can also clean up some of the traces your activities might have left on the host system, including Registry "most recently used" lists, and shortcuts created in the SendTo, Recent, Quick Launch and Pinned folders on your hard drive.

ProEject also supports various command line options, useful if perhaps you want to create a custom dismount script to suit your own needs. And the program can work with other tools, like Unlocker, to help make sure that any locked files are resolved before the drive is ejected.

But despite all this power, at heart ProEject is relatively simple to use. At a minimum you can simply launch the program, right-click your target drive, select ProEject, and that's it: the Registry will be cleaned, running apps closed, and a pop-up alert will let you know once the drive can safely be unplugged.

Verdict:

ProEject can be a little slow to operate if you're running it from an old or low-powered USB drive, but otherwise it's a clever way to dismount the drive and clean up afterwards.

Spotlight: Free Full Software

Giveaway: WinISO Standard 6.1.0

Free Full Commercial Software

WinISO is a very comprehensive tool which provides everything you need to create, edit and convert disc images.

If you've an image file already, for instance (ISO, CUE/ BIN, NRG, MDF, CCD, IMG and DVD formats are supported) then you can open it in a click or two, browse the image contents, and extract the files you need with a quick drag and drop.

It's just as easy to create new ISO9660, UDF, even HFS+ images. Just choose the option you need, then either manually build up your preferred file and folder structure; drag and drop your files and folders from Explorer onto the program; or create an image directly from a CD, DVD or Blu-ray disc.

Of course you can edit images, too. Is an ISO file too large for your needs, say? Open it up, locate and remove any surplus files to free up a little space.

WinISO program has full support for reading and creating bootable image files. A simple conversion tool makes it easy to convert disc images into the format you need. And the program can even mount ISO files as Explorer files, or burn images to disc when you're ready to save them.

Please note, this trial version of WinISO Standard will not save files greater than 500MB in size.

Giveaway: on Wednesday, we're giving you the full current version of WinISO Standard 6 worth $29.95. The download link here will take you to Downloadcrew Giveaway.
