Re: Safely Remove Hardware with usb devices - no longer get

Don,

I was searching the posts as I have the same issues with the safely remove
hardware icon. After removing all of the usb devices & reboot
ing the icon shows up in the toobars after the devices have reloaded.
However, upon restarting or shut down \restart, the icon disappears. It also
migrates back to the past items in tasbar \ customize area. If I just remove
the device in question (usb flobby device), as soon as it is removed the icon
appears. However, upon rebooting it is gone! I tried this several times so
I am sure of what is going on.

Thanks for the help in advance!
