What if I close the window but keep the USB drive attached in order to
access it later in the session?  Do I have to open Computer then scan
for the drive?  The Place shortcuts are there for a reason: to make
access of commonly used media faster.

At this point, I'd go as far as suggesting a sub menu for each volume,
with a "View" item, an eventual "Copy" item (for CD drives) and a
"Eject/Unmount" entry.

Ciao,
