This program is really annoying because I eject the disk from the drive, and even though I tell it to cancel the operation, it still comes up again and again, no matter how many times I try. It also places itself on top of other windows, meaning I must either end the process through the task manager or put another disk in.

Res.exe is part of USB toolkit located at C:\Program Files\USBToolbox. Prevented me from accessing USB memory sticks such as my camera. Renaming to .e_e and killing the process resolved all of my issues. Therefore I rate this file as not necessary.
