• Icon 'Remove hardware safely' is missing from the notification area

  I just reinstalled Win7 X 64 business but found that the icon 'Remove hardware safely' is missing from the notification area when I plug a USB key or external HARD drive (they don't work either by the way, I can view files in them no problem), I tried the solution of workaround suggested in http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-desktop/safely-remove-hardware-icon-missing-and-cant-eject/e9fda0a2-c308-4853-bf1d-a3926ff0fcd1?page=1&tm=1299855382970#footer , but it does not resolve the issue, I don't see the USB stick or external HARD disk in the dialog 'remove hardware safely '. The only way I can eject a USB device is click on the drive in windows Explorer and select "eject" while even "eject" is not available for an external HARD drive

  Does anyone know how to troubleshoot it?

• New appearance of the icon 'Remove hardware safely' in my taskbar

  Hello.. I'm using windows vista on a computer acer laptop. Today I have been updated from my iphone and press the eject button as itunes tells us to do. Then I tried to update my inano and he would not recognize it when I plugged into the USB port. When I checked it appeared that my iphone is still connected. I stopped him, left and a few hours after I got home, I got a blue screen on my laptop with orders written about it. So I ctrl-alt-del and started in normal mode and it started. Now I have an icon 'remove hardware safely' in my taskbar and have no idea why its there. Can someone help me? THX

  Hello

  The icon is normally so it was probably worth hide if inactive and because of
  the incident you said he was not idle. It should sooner or later hides.

  To check its setting - right click on taskbar - properties - Notification area - customize.

  I hope this helps.

• Problem with the icon 'Remove hardware safely' on the bottom of the screen

  How can I get the icon 'Remove hardware safely' to stop making its sound? It makes the bonk sound which indicates that you can remove your device. It slows down the PC games and is just annoying. I used the troubleshooter and checked all USB options that have been listed under my 'pilot' and the message I get says that they are enabled and work correctly. When he makes his tone, the icon in the taskbar disappears and reappears then. It does not seem to be no harm in or affecting any other thing except the PC games we play on our computer. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Hi Chrisjurrians,

  To turn off the sound for the connection / disconnection of devices, follow these steps:

  a. click Start and select Control Panel

  b. click on device sound and Audio

  c. under device sound and Audio, click its tab

  d. under program events, select the device connection and in the Strait, make scrolling the drop down for None.

  e. also repeat the same for disconnection device

  This should do the trick.

  Let us know if that helps.

• Where the icon 'remove hardware safely '?

  I just upgraded to Win 8 of Win XP. I'm used to seeing a popup or an icon in my taskbar lower right to "remove"hardware safely"after plugging in my camera or phone, but I don't see one in Windows 8. What happened to him? Will I have a problem if I remove just my camera, or do I have to take other measures to ensure that it is safe to unplug?

  Click the arrow to the top by the clock.  This will show hidden items and allow you to remove safely from the aircraft.

  In the next image look for the small triangle in the taskbar. Click the same place in your own Windows 7 operating system.  A window like this will appear and allow you to choose what is visible in the taskbar, including the 'remove the device icon.
