You can't "get rid" of it (you wouldn't want to), but you can hide it if
seeing it bothers you. Right-click the Notification area (System Tray)
and select Properties. Under the Notification Area heading, click
Customize. Find the Safely Remove Hardware icon and select "Always
Hide" in the Behavior column next to it. Apply and OK out.

OK, click on the icon and view the items listed! You have obviously
added some kind of removable device. Get with the program! Clicking on
the icon is not DEATH!
