Hi, could someone plz help me out? When I go online to update my sat-nav, I
have to disconnect it using the Safely remove hardware icon in the system
tray to stop the relevant drive, otherwise the sat-nav goes into a huge sulk.
Sometimes, I cannot see the said Icon in the system tray in order to click on
it, as it sometimes does not display after bootup.

Can somene plz tell me where I can find it, and how to make it show up on my
system tray as and when I need it to?

Open a run command and type iN:

RunDll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll CLICK [OK].
