Safely remove hardware icon missing (XP)


Recommended Posts

All of a sudden my Safely remove hardware icon went missing ....

I'm aware of the process to safely disable the hardware using the run

command line : RUNDLL32 SHELL32.DLL,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll

but what about the ICON? and I've also checked the notification (systray) area

Customize Notifications and the Safely Remove Hardware icon is not being hidden,

and restored Defaults settings .... Still no change.

Any ideas?

and here a screenshot of my startup Liner Programs...

I dont see any dodge stuff, DO u?

I know this is an oldish thread but I stumbled across it while Googling for something unrelated. The problem is within Windows UPnP and the only workaround is to remove it.

Start > Settings > Add/Remove Programs

Add/Remove Windows Components > Networking Services

Untick 'UPnP User Interface'
