Removing Devices

[T. Jenkins]

I couldn't find a general Windows 7 group, so I'm hoping someone here can
help. I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium on a laptop, and frequently use a USB
memory stick. The issue I'm having is that the application to stop the
memory stick so that I can remove it is very slow compared to previous
versions of Windows.

In the past, all I had to do was single click the "remove hardware" app, and
within a few seconds, the list of devices would popup. Now when I click the
app, it takes easily 15-20 seconds before the list pops up.

If I go to my Computer, I can right-click the device and click Eject, and
the process is much faster, but it's extra mouse-clicks I'd like to avoid.

Am I doing something wrong here? Why isn't the remove hardware app faster?

Thanks.
