Re: Safly Remove Hardware
There are several existing thread with how to hide the icon. No one ever came up with a way of disabling the actual program.
Search safely remove hardware on the forum. |

Re: Safly Remove Hardware
if you have sata hard disks it will always show up, since SATA can hotswap
 Just make sure to pull both power and data out as near to the same time as possible if not using a hotswap bay

Re: Safly Remove Hardware
Yes I know that. I have a digital camera usb cable connected, which I always thought they didn't show up like that. I guess it depends on which kind.
Thanks |

Re: Safely Remove Hardware
Right click on your "Task Bar". Click on "Properties". When the window opens the Task Bar section is open. Click on "Customize". Scroll down to the "Safely Remove Hardware" item and click on it. A drop down box opens next to it. Set it to "Always Hide". Click O.K.
Is this what you wanted Bman? |

Re: Safely Remove Hardware
No no, I have already done that, I just think the taskbar looks better without the little arrrow or anything. I thought there was away to completly remove but I guess not.

Re: Safely Remove Hardware
Well do What I posted for everything and then maybe it will all go away.
Have you tried TweakUI? Under the "Taskbar and Start Menu" heading. Uncheck the "Show Taskbar Notification Icons" box. See what happens. And no, I am not gonna do it, you do it. |

I hate to be the one... but that annoyance is in Vista too!
The icon actually looks different though. |
