Request to Disconnect in Vista
If you would like to use a USB device that is being occupied by another user you may send a courtesy message asking the user to disconnect. You may do this by right clicking on the USB device icon that you will like to use and selecting “Request Remote to Disconnect.” A message will then be sent to the user requesting that they disconnect from the USB device.
NOTE: If the occupying user denies this request, then you will not be able to send any further request to the same user for 5 minutes. This is to prevent any user from flooding the occupying user with multiple requests within a short period of time.
