Safely Remove Icon

[Guest doncee]

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

Right click an empty space on the Taskbar.

Click "Properties in the popup menu.

Under "Taskbar" tab > "Notification Area", click the "Hide inactive icons" input

check box to select it.

Click the "Customize" button.

Click any listed item to get a dropdown list in the "Behavior" column.

Change any items you wish to "Always hide, Always show or Hide when inactive.

When done making changes click Ok > Apply > Ok.

Appreciate your quik response. I did what you described above &

yes it did hide the icon. I would prefer being able to remove

the icon completely from the task bar. Any additional suggestions

??

thanks
