Jan 5, 2009I installed the Eset NOD32 3.0 antivirus, I wanted to remove it. I couldn't remove it on a conventional way, using the add/remove tool, so I removed it from my windows startup list, and then physically removed the folder from my HDD, and then used PC Tools Registry Mechanic thinking that it would do the trick,but it didn't. I tried various registry cleaning programs, but I just can't find it in the lists.

Oct 27, 2009The "Safely Remove Hardware" function running in my eMachine XP Home Edition includes USB flash drives in its warning list. While I recognize that mechanical storage devices such as CD/DVD drives, etc., should be addressed, is there any kind of subtle danger to any system functions if I ignore the "safely remove" process when connecting and/or disconnecting USB flash drives?

View 5 Replies View RelatedCannot Remove Taskbar (safely Remove Hardware) Icon Or Associated Hardware
Oct 18, 2008on my computer I have had a "safely remove hardware" icon in the task tray that I cannot remove or get to operate successfully.
the problem is that whenever I've attempted to "stop" the hardware I always get a message saying, "The ****device cannot be stopped now. Try stopping the device again later. The device is described as "generic volume", with what appears to be some form of identification number.
please tell me whats this how I can remove it and the icon from the taskbar
P.S. - I've newly learned that this "device" with it's icon in the system tray is the hard drive (by comparing the associated ID # indicated in the "properties" window with the hard drive # in the device manager window). I certainly don't want to remove the hard drive, but does anyone know why an icon for this device would appear in the taskbar, or know how to remove the icon only?

Sep 16, 2005When I plug in an SD card into my laptop, I get a little "safely remove hardware" in the systray. When I remove the card, can I just yank it out of the slot, or do I have to right-click on the icon and "Stop" the device? Is it safe to just yank it out? Obviously, I am not doing any copying when I am yanking it out.

Mar 15, 2010My computer with Win XP does not always have the safely remove hardware icon that comes up in the taskbar. I put a USB flashdrive in, and the icon came up. When I was through it was gone. I had no idea how to find it so I just unplugged the flashdrive. Is there a way I can make that Icon stay. It is not because it is a hidden icon.

Jun 22, 2010USB thumb drives and external HDD no longer show up in the "safely remove hardware" screen even tho they show up fine in 'my computer' and work fine with autoplay.there is nothing in the SRH screen. this happens with USB ports on the motherboard and on a USB card. The drives show in device manager. I can detect and remove the USB drives with 3rd party software like 'USB disk eject'. The drives are 'optimized for quick removal'.
I've got rid of all 'ghost' drives and hubs in device manager and related registry entries (with drivecleanup). 'plug and play' service is running. I can't think of any strange software and drivers recently installed. I've googled a lot with no results.

Jul 18, 2005I desperately need to remove the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon.I can't stand having a cluttered desktop. I know that this has been discussed here several times, but I have yet to find a solution. I'm using an ancient Dell 3500 notebook with XP Pro. I've had an old 3com Ethernet PC Card for years, and I wanted to use it in XP. As I'm sure you all know, it puts that annoying icon in the system tray. In Windows 2000,they had a way to make it so that the icon was not required to be displayed, but I haven't found a similar option in XP. Is there something I'm missing here, or does anyone know of a third-party app, or anything like that? Also, I know that you can hide inactive icons,but the ">>" thing that shows the condensed tray takes up just a much space as keeping it as-is.

Nov 12, 2007The "safe to remove hardware" icon is missing from the task tray. When a USB device (flash drive) is plugged in there is no way to safely unplug it. I have tried run>RunDll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll> and sometime this will allow me to safely unplug a device, but not always. HP suggest reformatting the hd, but I prefer not to do this. Any suggestions?

Apr 6, 2008I am running Windows XP Professional with SP2. Windows Firewall is installed, as is, the excellent, Nod32 Antivirus.
I lost the Safely Remove Hardware icon and also the Volume Control icon from the Notification area of the System Tray. I do not recollect why or how this came about.
I realized that the SRH icon can be made to show up in the System Tray by:
Click on Start/Control Panel/Sounds and Audio Devices and placing a check mark in the
'Place volume icon on the task bar' check box.
This immeditely places the two icons referred to above in the System Tray.....
