Allowing users to "Unplug or Eject Hardware"

[Guest]

I have a GP which disables access to the control panel, however this stops people being able to eject their USB pen devices safely.

Is there a way to get around this without giving them access to the Control Panel? and if so how?

Thank you
Corey

Have the users left click ONCE only on the taskbar icon, then left click
the message that pops up above the icon. This will safely disconnect
any USB jump drives and avoid the error message regarding restrictions.
We are using group policy to lock down the Control Panel and this works
for us.
