I don't fucking know why I can't eject USB hard drives. I installed the SysInternals apps, and best they can tell me is that Dropbox is fucking with the drives. I explicitly told Dropbox to not fuck with USB drives. I don't know who's lying, I just want whoever is fucking with the drives to stop fucking with the drives, OK??? OK.

Force close Explorer.exe and you'll be able to eject

The USB drives are effectively perma-mounted and the eject command does not work, if even one instance of Explorer is open.
