TIPS & TRICKS: Unplugging USB device without the system tray icon (keyboard shortcut)

For Windows XP:

%SystemRoot%\system32\rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll

You can build a shortcut on your desktop that you can use the keyboard to navigate to and eject your USB device. I came across this while working on a machine where the mouse was not available and needed a keyboard shortcut to eject my flash drive.
