| Guest | Seafely Remove Hardware Question I just installed plugged-in and ecternal harddrive with Vista Home Basic SP2. The moment I plugged in the USB an icon appeared in the Notification area: 'Safely Remove Hardware'. I'ver notice a setting in the properties of the drive that 'Optimize for quick removal' is checked but I'm not sure if changing this will prevent the iceopn from appearing. How can I prevent this icon from appearing? Thanks, James |

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.

| Guest | Re: Seafely Remove Hardware Question I really don't want all icons hidden just this one. I could use the hide inactive icons in notification area properties but it leaves an arrow indicating an icon is hidden. Isn't really that big of a deal. Just that I can accomplish the same thing by right clicking the drive in 'Computer' and selecting 'Safely Remove'.
