This isn't the issue for flash drives that it is for a moving disk.
Typically you can just unplug the flash drive without having to use the
safely remove hardware option.

hi Alicia, little correction for previous posting.
you have 2 way to do this,
1. press "JawsKey+f11" for system tray. look for the icon call "Savely Remove hardware", press "alt+d" for left double mouse click, then will pop-up a list of your removeable device you select the device that you want to remove and press tab to "stop button" and press spacebar, wait a moment, jaws will anounce you can safely remove that device.
or
2. go to "my computer", look for the drive letter for your removeable device and press "applicationKey" then press letter "j" for eject. then after that you can savely remove your device.

Hello, Everyone:
I was told today at school that you have to click on this green arrow in order to properly remove a flash drive from the USB port safely. Does anyone know if that is true and if so how do you click this graphic with JAWS?
Thanks,
