Hide it so it isn't displayed unless you click the chevron to show the hidden tray icons.
Guest Tevibear Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Re: Gettin Rid of "Safely Remove Hardware" tray Icon Not sure why it's there. It allows some kind of removing of the hard drives and editing of their cache settings if you choose properties of the drive. I just don't want it available in case someone accidentally get curious and decides to jack up one of the hard drives. Thx, Tevi "Dave B." wrote: > None of them, it's not there.

Guest Tevibear Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Re: Gettin Rid of "Safely Remove Hardware" tray Icon I see your point, however, other people can see it and there are no settings within this applet that allow it not to load.. maybe I'll do process of elimination to find out which one it is and kill it dead. :) Thx, Tevi Vanguard wrote: > "Tevibear" wrote in message news:4693E23A.18DEA7DA@yahoo.com... > > Anyone know which process I need to disable in MS Config to get rid of > > that annoying tray icon that says "Safely Remove Hardware". > > Hide it so it isn't displayed unless you click the chevron to show the > hidden tray icons.

Is that right? If that is so... It may be because a SATA HDD is installed in your system. Since such a SATA device has the potential quality of being "hot-pluggable" (or "hot-swappable"), some systems will treat the device as a removable drive in terms of reflecting the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Notification area (Systray) similar, for example, to a USB external HDD. I'm not aware of any practical way to disable that icon. (It's been reported that there are third-party programs that presumably have that capability but I've no experience with them if they do exist, nor would I recommend their use). I believe you're aware that there is, however, in XP a "Hide inactive icons" feature that you may be interested in - see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;279771 In any event, if the above is relevant in your situation, i.e., the SRH icon displays because of an installed SATA HDD, the (practical) bottom-line in all this is that you can just ignore the SRH icon; you need not access it in any way with respect to your SATA HDD(s).

Guest Tevibear Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 Re: Gettin Rid of "Safely Remove Hardware" tray Icon I looked for that string in startup locations. Astonishingly, I found no reference to it anywhere. How strange is this? Thx for trying, Tevi Peter Foldes wrote: > Tevibear > > Here is some info.
