Vista - Icon removal from the taskbar

I am new to Vista and would like to get rid of the 'Safely Remove Hardware'
icon from the taskbar where it stays all the time. It should only pop up when
I use a new or temporary device. Thanks for any help.

Easiest thing to do is 'hide' it. See this link from my website:

If you have a card reader installed in you computer, that would explain why
it is always showing. Just hide it as John said.
