Can Windows tell me what is using my USB drive?

I'd like to unplug my USB mass storage device, but I get the following error message from Windows:

Windows can't stop your 'XYZ' device because it is in use. Close any programs or windows that might be using the device, and then try again later.

How can I find out which application locks the device, so I can safely unplug it without having to close all running applications first?

Note: I'm working on a Windows Vista system.

  • This is a frequently asked question. Can we organise a group beating of Microsoft employees until they add this function to their operating system? – PP. Mar 29 '10 at 09:01
