Safely remove the external hardware that it says you can remove when you
double click on it.

Well, you could modify the properties of the taskbar to "always hide" this
icon.

Right-click the notification area, and selecting Properties.
Under the Notification area heading, click Customize.
Find the Safely Remove Hardware icon and select Always hide in the Behavior
column next to it and then click OK and Apply.
