When I connect any usb device, Safely Remove Hardware icon doesn't appear. It
is not hidden in notification arae.What is the problem? I can't remove my
hardwares safely.

Seems to be a common issue. Some suggest to deactivate
the "SSDP Discovery Service" or to "Clear Past Items
from the Notification Area":

Please let us know if one of these helps.


You can manually bring up the 'Safely Remove Hardware'
dialog by this commandline:
rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll

I entered HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\
but there is no TrayNotify in here.
How can I manually bring up?

Have you really looked for a key named TrayNotify, not a value?

I found it and did what http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=283084 said.
but problem still continues. safely remove device icon appeared but just for
2 second then gone.
