I have properties checked to " always show" icon and it is in the past items
area and not current items area.

only appears when USB device is plugged in

Depends on your hardware. Your XP should / SHOULD install the drivers
you NEED.

What you are describing is a driver issue.

My OLD jump drive put an icon in my taskbar. If the icon didn't tell
me, "It's now ok to remove the device." I couldn't pull it out.

The PROPER way to use the jump drive is that-- if it's lit, leave it
alone. If it's NOT lit, you can remove it.

With my NEW jump drive, there's no icon, because the drive and driver
match, and I don't need any warnings.

If the jump drive is LIT, leave it alone. If the jump drive is NOT
lit, you can safely remove it.

thats what i figured. but i used to have the icon in the task bar, and a
couple of weeks ago it just dissappered.
what would happen if i unplug a usb device (mostly mp3 players in this
case) without having the icon to terminate the connection?

Actually i meant in the "system tray" not taskbar.
