ObjectDock Recycle bin holds USB Drive open so prevents eject

from Stardock Forums

Hi,

Subject says it all, I guess the way it probably occurs is:

1. Delete file from USB drive (not sure if precence of recycle dir enough)...

2. Wait a bit

3. Run handle.exe (sysinternals) and you will see:

Code
  1. C:\> handle y:
  3. <p style="padding-left: 30px;">Handle v3.2
  4. Copyright (C) 1997-2006 Mark Russinovich
  5. Sysinternals - <a href="http://www.sysinternals.com">www.sysinternals.com</a>
  7. <p style="padding-left: 30px;">ObjectDock.exe     pid: 3888    1C0: Y:\RECYCLER

 4. USB drives Eject should now fail.

Yep, this has been mentioned in OD Bugs thread here: https://forums.stardock.com/357439/get;2353406

The reason it happens is because each HDD has its own hidden Recycler folder that is the actual location of Recycle Bin. So when you delete stuff from that HDD it goes to that folder. Therefore, if you have a Recycle Bin in a dock and you empty it, OD goes off and polls Recycler folders on all present HDDs, then giving you a sum of items that will be purged. The problem is that once this polling is done OD is supposed to take back its handle, but it does not. It's a bug and I hope that Stardock will fix it.
