Solved Readyboost - Safely Remove Hardware Icon

[1994F7PT]

Its a niggle and not a big one, but is there no way for readyboost enabled USB sticks to not show as this system tray icon? or will W7 always recognise them as just a USB, not a permanent fixture to my machine?

cheers

Hello Ben,

Since a readyboost USB flash drive must be ejected first so that it could be safely disconnected when wanted to, you will always have the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon when it's connected. However, you could set the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon to Hide icon and notifications using the tutorial below to no longer see it.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

ai i figured that was the only way round it, pity really as i want the safely remove to work as normal, i just dont want the readyboost enabled drives to even register in the system as they will be there pretty much for the life of the pc and never be removed!lol!

thanks anyway

You're welcome. Sorry about that.

Assuming you are dealing with the system in your specs, you have 6 GB of memory. You're 5 GB of memory over needing to consider ReadyBoost anyway.
