Default Suddenly can't safely remove external USB drives

From: "Doc"

Finally had success. Apparently it was the Windows Search -
searchindexer.exe After killing that I can remove and restart it
using USB Safely remove.


How did you determine that EXE was holding the handle open ?
Did you use my Sysinternals Process Explorer suggestion ?
