After you get into customizing the notification & tabbing to the different icons & selecting each ones you want to showup in the system tray, Safely Remove Hardware is not in there! At least it is not worded like that! It is listed as, Listed in Windows Explorer! When you are tabbing through & get to the,Listed in Windows Explorer option, this is the option that puts the Safely Remove Hardware, icon in the system tray. Hope this helps. Take care.

I would go to the start menu icon, press ALT+Enter, press control+Tab until you have reached the taskbar page and tab until you find the button called notification area Customize... Button. Press enter on that and find the checkbox that will be unchecked called Always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar, shift+Tab will get you to it the quickest. Check it by pressing the space bar. Then press OK twice and all of your system tray icons will stay there. Thank you.

Go into the Windows Control panel, personalization, and I think it's the Windows Basic theme you want. I'm not sure because I created a customized theme ages ago and forget which one it was based on. But I think that's it. Regarding safely remove hardware? From the desktop open Computer. Any USB drive or device that acts as a drive will be in the drive list. Select it, open the context menu with the Application key or Shift-F10, and hit J for Eject. You should hear: Safe to remove hardware.
