I have WIN XP SP2 and have no system tray icon for "safely remove Hardware"
on one of my computers. How do I get it back? Thanks.
 
Does that particular computer have anything hooked up to it externally? If
not, then you won't see the icon until something IS hooked up.

If you DO have something hooked up, try logging out and log back in.
Sometimes this helps restore icons that should be there but aren't.

Usually, this icon any appears when a removable system device can cause
problems. Usually devices are USB flash/MP3/hard drive, USB network
adapters and (e)SATA hard drives. If you do not have any type of these
devices on your PC, then the icon should not appear.
