I just installed Vista Home Premium and every time I turn on my pc, an icon

is placed on the taskbar telling me to safely remove hardware. The first

round of messages pertained to my card reader slots (which I use) and now

it's telling me to safely remove my USB mass storage device. How do I get

rid of these taskbar messages on every bootup?

Thanks for any suggestions.

    That Icon is there so you can safely remove any 3rd party appropriate

    hardware - not that you have to at any certain time. You can Right

    Click Taskbar - Properties - Notification Area - Customize -

    and Hide the Icon.
