Removing "remove" icon

[squiffy]

Is it possible to remove "safetly remove hardware" icon in the taskbar? It's always there for the SATA hard drives, I wouldn't disconnect them so bit pointless having it there. I would only need it for flash USB hard drives, flash drives/cards and my DAP.

not tried this myself, but a quick google came up with this:

Or as I've done. just set the tray options to "always hide" the icon

i'm sure its just a registry entry, when my mrs goes home i'll download that trial and use regshot to see what it changes!
