Missing right-click option...
When I want to remove my SanDisk USB drive from my computer, in Windows
Explorer I right-click on the drive and select "safely remove". Today the "safely remove" option is missing from the right-click menu. How does that happen and how can I get it back? Thanks. silas |

Missing right-click option...
Hello Silas, Restarting the computer may restore it for you. If not, then you can use the "Safely Remove Hardware" shortcut below instead to do so. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/17...-shortcut.html Hope this helps, Shawn silas;1192299 Wrote: When I want to remove my SanDisk USB drive from my computer, in Windows Explorer I right-click on the drive and select "safely remove".

Thanks Shawn, the reboot worked. I wish I knew what caused it to disappear
in the first place, though. silas "Brink" wrote in message ... Hello Silas, Restarting the computer may restore it for you.
