Tray Icon

Posted: 08-07-2003, 08:19 PM
There is an icon in my tray next to the clock that is
for 'safely removing hardware'. It's useless sitting
there. The only options it gives for removing is good
stuff that I don't want to remove. I cannot find how to
stop it from loading on start up. I've been all through
the start up program, and can't find it there. How can I
delete this irritating little icon that just takes up
space. I have XP Home with SP1. Thanks....

Thanks, Gary. That did it. In fact, it took care of some
others that I have been having to "exit" every time I
start up. You guys are all so great. I really appeciate
all of you.....Bell
