My safely remove hardware icon seems to appear and disappear at will. I
appreciate the information on right clicking the start button. I did that
and changed it to show all the time, but it did not appear. Usually it will
show up after a full restart and then just disappear sometime later. I use a
thumb drive daily, so it's a pain having to go into my computer and eject the
drive.
