Quick Usb disconnect.

Now, I have noticed that most people unplug a USB device via right-clicking the USB icon in the taskbar, then select the particular device, then press stop. While in practice this is ok (as a contrast to those who just pull-out the USB device, which I don’t recommend!), it requires a total of three (3) clicks to perform (and you have to wait long before the dialog box appears).
My tip on how to quickly remove a USB device is to left-click on the USB icon, then select stop. That’s it! A total of two (2) clicks and you are done.
