While I don't generally bother with clicking on things like safely remove
hardware for flash drives etc., if I copy files etc. over to my mobile phone
using it's USB cable, I will generally make sure the last thing I copy is an
extra/unneeded file since while my flash drives don't ever really seem to
give me hassles, my phone often enough seems to end up with the very last
file being somewhat corrupted, but that is most likely specific to the
phone's own data transfer mode or something.
Stay well

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,

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
