It might not and there is no way for me to know for sure but consider this if you would, does it go away after the last item is removed or not, again that is a question I couldn't answer as I use a USB sound card exclusively so there is always something connected up on this system.

Hi Don, Yes, that option is available in Windows XP. I always use it for ejectingg cd's, and yesterday I tried it with a flash drive, and noticed that the name of the drive changed to, removeable disk, but this did not remove the safely remove hardware icon from the system tray.

If not, it should. I have Vista Home Premium, perhaps this is not available on XP?
