Guest GEE Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 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. -- GEE "Quaoar" wrote: > > "shaoen01" <shaoen01@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:4BC6B39E-0EBC-4FD5-9A7A-1507D07D5D0D@microsoft.com... > > When i plug in a USB such as a thumb drive or Ipod, the safely remove > > hardware should appear on your taskbar.
