What do I do if the Safely Remove Hardware Icon in Vista is missing?

[CanadianDaniel]

Hi, does anybody know what to do to make the missing Safely Remove Hardware taskbar icon re-appear in Windows Vista? I still saw the Safely Remove Hardware taskbar icon in the past few days up until today. What do I do?

have you actually got somthing installed Via USB?

I cant see how running the computer in safe mode then rebooting then booting up normally will help!

Thanks for your help. I actually went into safe mode and restored to an earlier system restore setting and the icon re-appeared. Now, I don't have that problem anymore.
