Safely Remove Hardware Program not working

[Guest]

When i plug in a USB such as a thumb drive or Ipod, the safely remove
hardware should appear on your taskbar. But it does not appear in my computer
and i thought maybe it was the usb device.

Then i plugged into my labtop and the safely remove hardware icon appears on
the taskbar. Does anyone know how i can make the safely remove hardware
program to appear once i plug in a usb device? Thanks

Right-click the Start button, select Properties, Taskbar tab,
Customize... button. Find the Safely Remove Hardware icon and select
either Hide when inactive, Always show, but not Always hide.

If this computer is having other problems with the Taskbar displaying
properly, you can go to http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
and look for taskbarfix.exe or fixtaskbar.exe (I don't know the exact
name, obviously!) that can repair the icon associations.

Hi,

After i used one of the fixes from the website you gave me, after i restart
my computer the safely remove hardware will not appear again. Do you have any
suggestion on what to do for this?

Hi,

I was unable to find RUNDLL32.EXE using the FREE Sysinternals Process

Explorer(PE) but i followed the last html link you gave me and it works fine now. At least, i have a link to the safely remove hardware. Thank you

Hi,

You are right, after opening the safely remove hardware window, i can spot
the RUNDLL32.EXE in the PE(Process Explorer).

The command line is "C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe"
shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll

And it is also Run a DLL as an App. So the only way i can fix corrupt system
tray is by creating a link by finding out their command line right? Thank you
so much for your help.

My safely remove hardware icon seems to appear and disappear at will. I
appreciate the information on right clicking the start button. I did that
and changed it to show all the time, but it did not appear. Usually it will
show up after a full restart and then just disappear sometime later. I use a
thumb drive daily, so it's a pain having to go into my computer and eject the
drive.
