Ouch! pulling the plug, nasty way to shut down, you better hope there is not an open handle when you do this. Yes I have done it many times without issues, but making it a common practice is ill advised.

Excellent, thank you so much! All, note this may not work until after a reboot as in my case.

Also, I would not advise pulling the power plug in most situations. Worries include quality of NTFS journal recovery, whether the sparking is hard on the power supply, and whether desktop hard drives really always autopark properly on unwarned powerfail.
