I have managed to reproduce the issue using a removable hard drive, you are right that a usb flash drive does not cause the same issue.

FlashFXP listens for device change messages and when a DBT_DEVICEREMOVEPENDING message is received FlashFXP will turn off the drive change monitor so that the device can be safely removed.

This notification message is not being triggered for removable hard drives.

I am going to change the way I monitor for folder changes in the navigation tree. Instead of monitoring all the drives, I am changing it to only monitor the drive of the selected folder, this will eliminate the problem. Unless of course you are browsing the drive that is trying to be removed.
