    Right click Taskbar, click Properties, click "Customize" button, click "Select which icons appear on the taskbar", and make sure "Windows Explorer Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media" is off.

    yeah i never said hide.. my taskbar has all its available icons expanding onto it instead of only showing a few.

    No, turning off the icon moves it under the arrow.
