removing icon

[Guest]

Windows provides an icon in the taskbar that allows you to "Safely Remove
Hardware.
I have this icon on my system tray, and i like to removed from there.
I have looked in the startup list and its not there.
How can I remove it ??
Thanks

It is there for a purpose. The easiest thing to do is 'hide' it. Visit this
link on my website to find out how:

Well Jack it's working fine on both Windows XP and Windows Vista on my
system. Take another look to see if the option is still Hide. Sometimes
there can be a slight hiccup - it happened to me the other day. When i
checked the option had changed to 'hide when inactive' Once i changed it
back to Hide it stayed hid.

Remove the hardware it refers to (usually usb devices like hard drives or
usb thumbdrives - removeable storage devices)
