HiJason,
Allowing the computer to show inactive icons will not cause problems.
If the safely remove hardware icon is showing in the system tray,
then there must be a USB device plugged in, or
if you have a card-reader built into the machine, and the proper drivers are
not installed it willcause the icon to be displayed.
I can't think of anything else right now, but if something comes to me after
I wake up, I'll let you know. smile
HTH,
Rick Justice

Subject: [Blind-Computing] question about the safely remove hardware option
Hi list,
I am about to start using a USB flashdrive to copy some files from my
desktop. So that I can use these files on my notebook. Rather than using
floppy disks(yes I have still been using floppy disks smile).
I know that when using things like flash drives and external drives etc.
That you should use the safely remove hardware option before unplugging such
devices. I wanted the safely remove hardware option to always appear in my
system tray. So I went in and unchecked the "always hide unused icons"
checkbox. The safely remove hardware option, is now always appearing in my
system tray like I wanted. However, if I enter on this option. It lists "USB
mass storage device". However, I don't have any such device connected. I
have not yet started using either the flashdrive or my external harddrive.
So what would it be referring to? And is unchecking this hide unused icons
option a good idea? Or will I be giving myself problems in the future?
Thanks Jason
