safe to eject

[jonocyber67]

hi Guys Girls Ive lost the gadge in the bottom right of screen that enables safe ejection or removal of external drives any ideas how to reinstate

[Ethel]

1. Is the icon hidden? Click the arrow to find out
2. Have you gone any removable hardware plugged in?
3. XP or Vista?

[Ethel]

If it's XP and not hidden, copy and paste this into the start, run box

RunDll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll
