Guest wdk Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 I'm getting no USB icons in the systray when I plug something in. Everything works OK, but then I have no way of stopping the item before I unplug. So I just go ahead and unplug it. I get a little "pop" noise, but no error messages.

Guest RalfG Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Re: USB icons don't show up You mean the Safely Remove Hardware icon is missing? If some of your system tray icons do not appear when the computer boots up, try logging off then immediately log back on again as the same user. If nothing else is wrong the missing icons should appear. At least until the next reboot.

Guest wdk Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 RE: USB icons don't show up Wonder if that's some new Windows thing where you don't have to do it any more? That would be great! I'm gonna search the knowlege base. "dpacovski" wrote: > > > "wdk" wrote: > > > I'm getting no USB icons in the systray when I plug something in.

Guest wdk Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Re: USB icons don't show up No, that doesn't work. Every time I log on, I get the same thing.

The only time disconnecting a USB device might be a problem is if Windows is trying to write to it or access it. Otherwise, disconnect at will
Guest Tony Luxton Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 Re: USB icons don't show up Click Start, Run, and type "control hotplug.dll" (without the quotes). Then click OK. You may find the icon comes back. If not, create a shortcut with the same command. HTH Tony.
