 If I dont understand wrong your problem, you would like to send a Dos
command from xy starting your sistem tray icon "eject hardware". In win98
those icons are in:

C:\Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explores\quick launch\

  From xy4 you can do:

BC Dos/nv /C Start your.lnk

  For me the problem was to work with that enormous path... I copy the
link to a DOS reachable directory and build the command.
  With the /m option, Start executes the link but returns back to your Xy
session.

BC Dos/nv /C Start /m your.lnk

  This was the solution Harry B. and Robert H. gave few months ago. I
supose win2000 is not different.

Subject: Stopping USB drives from XY4


> I have recently begun to use USB flash drives instead of 3.5 inch discs as
a regular backup medium when working in XY. Since I normally keep two
backups, I have to stop the current USB drive every so often (in Windows
2000) so that I can swap them over. This requires switching from XY4, which
I normally run full-screen, to windows in order to use the system tray
"unplug or eject hardware" icon. While this is hardly an onerous task it
would be nice if it could be accomplished from within XY4 but I have been
unable, so far, to find a means of accomplishing this. (I have tried a
Microsoft command line program called DEVCON.EXE and also another command
line routine involving rundll32.exe but neither really helped.) Does
anybody know if there is a solution to this?
