Re: Seafely Remove Hardware Question

I am a little curious why someone would want to do this?

This is how to hide ALL Icons in SysTray :

http://samanathon.com/registry-hack-...a-system-tray/

and :

Enable hot-plug filter & hide safe-remove icon x86
Add & Set this key :

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\xfilt\Parameter0"
To DWORD value "0x80000000"

Enable hot-plug filter & hide safe-remove icon x64
Add & Set this key :

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\xfiltx64\Parameter0"
To DWORD value "0x80000000"

also from Via :

1. To Enable hot-plug filter but hide safe-remove icon ( i386 platform ):
Add and set registry:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\xfilt\Parameter0"
To DWORD value "0x80000000"

2. To enable hot-plug filter and also shows safe-remove icon ( i386
platform ):
Add and set registry
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\xfilt\Parameter0"
To DWORD value "0x80000001"

3. To Enable hot-plug filter but hide safe-remove icon ( x64 platform ):
Add and set registry:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\xfiltx64\Parameter0"
To DWORD value "0x80000000"

4. To enable hot-plug filter and also shows safe-remove icon ( x64
platform ):
Add and set registry
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\xfiltx64\Parameter0"
To DWORD value "0x80000001"

5. To disable hot-plug filter, set "Parameter0" to zero value.
