Well. If you're controlling a remote PC -let's say you are 300 miles away from it- and need to re-attach an accidentally unplugged USB those ways are very handy.

Why would you be ejecting a usb key from 300 miles away....

The article explains rather well why this is useful - and for anyone with an older PC it is correct:

Although Windows provides a safe and convenient way to safely eject your USB flash drive, there are no options to easily remount or reconnect the ejected drive. It seems like the only way is to unplug the drive and reinsert it into the USB port for Windows to re-detect and re-mount the USB flash drive. This can be very troublesome if the device is connected to the USB port located at the rear of the computer.

Another really good reason is that sometimes windows goes stupid and will not allow a USB device to be safely removed - which can either mean it has gone stupid OR - there are open files which may be corrupted by just yanking the plug.

Very little helps much with this, and the first app I've seen that shows open files is here=> http://deveject.co

I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like it may be very helpful to have in one's tools.
