Guest doncee Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Installed a flatbed scanner succesfully on XP-Pro but the "safely remove hardware" icon is now stuck in my task bar. I've set it to be hidden but would like to know where to go \ what to do to remove it entirely since the newly installed hardware is working fine. Ideas or suggestions?? Thanks in adavance dc

Under "Taskbar" tab > "Notification Area", click the "Hide inactive icons" input check box to select it. Click the "Customize" button.
