"Safely Remove Hardware" Icon

[Justin]

I installed a USB modem and now every time I start my
computer the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon appears in the
taskbar. Does anyone know of a way to remove this icon.

Thanks
Justin

The only way I know is to customize your Taskbar to 'Hide Inactive icons'...
right clcik taskbar select properties.......its at bottom..

There is another way to hide this icon.
Download this utility:
http://www.safelyremove.com/safelyremovesetup.exe
or
http://www.safelyremove.com/safelyremovesetup.zip

After setup - open utility menu: *Options - System* - check "Disable
Windows USB Hotplug manager" checkbox.

BTW - with this utility you can do safely remove hardware by using
system-wide hotkeys(combination of keys). Very handy utility :)

Hope this will help.
